Moscow Sights Gems
Kremlin Cathedrals
The cathedrals of the Moscow Kremlin are truly remarkable gems of the medieval Russian architecture and art. At the same time they bear mute witness to the rise of the centralized Russian State. Apart from strikingly demonstrating early Russian artistic tradition, indeed epitomizing its many achievements, they also served as the gathering ground for precious icons and treasures of applied art, which subsequently acquired world fame.
Hence the thousands of visitors who flock to the museums, cathedrals and churches of Moscow Kremlin gain through an introduction to its beautiful murals a better notion of Russia’s medieval history, more specifically of the time during which these structures were built.
