The Kremlin and Red Square (1156 - 1850) Moscow, Russia
Built as a residence for Ivan I, the Kremlin was the official
residence of the Czars until the 1917 Russian Revolution.
Today, it still houses the President’s office. In front
of the Kremlin is Red Square – an impressive and exuberant
plaza which, for many people, is associated with the infamous
May Day demonstrations. Rising from the square is St Basil's
Cathedral, built in the 1550s to commemorate Ivan the Terrible's
capture of the Mongol stronghold of Kazan.
