St. Basil’s Cathedral of Moscow Of Russia

St. Basil's Cathedral is a well-known landmark in Moscow. The richly ornamented building was commissioned by Russian tsar Ivan IV, also known as Ivan the Terrible, to commemorate victories in battle and built between 1555 and 1679.

The chapels of Saint Basil’s are topped by colorful onion-shaped domes. Each dome is different in size and decoration. Officially known as the Cathedral of Saint Basil the Blessed, its original name was Cathedral of the Intercession of the Virgin.





The onion-domed building is polygonal in plan with fantastic bulbous towers and twisted turrets. Richly ornamented in color and gilt, Saint Basil's Cathedral, with its ten chapels, aptly demonstrates the influence of the Byzantine artistic tradition that reached Russia from Constantinople (now İstanbul).
