Cathedral of the Annunciation (Blagoveshchenskiy sobor) Kremlin
Cathedral of the Annunciation (Blagoveshchenskiy sobor)is the golden-domed cathedral, which served as the private church of the grand dukes and tsars. Restored in 1562-64, the cathedral is lofty and narrow, with an interior that seems far more "Russian" than the other Kremlin cathedrals. It also houses some of the finest icons in Russia, with works by Theophanes the Greek and Andrei Rublev (a famous Russian icon painter).
De Verkondigingskathedraal is van de kerken in het Kremlin en is in het verleden vaak gebruikt voor koninklijke ceremonies. Het is altijd de kerk van de Tsaren geweest.
