He visits the Red Square of Moscow

It is sure that if they ask you for Moscow, one of your first answers would be the Red Square. Since yes, the Red Square of Moscow must always be between the first ones of our recommendations at the time of planning a visit to the Russian city. Do you want to know why?.

The Red Square was created at the end of the XVth century, under the reign of Iván II I, with the name of the Square of the Trinidad, since in her there was the Cathedral of the Trinidad, which was located in the place that today occupies the Cathedral of San Basilio. This ancient square was the place of meeting of the Muscovites, in addition to albergas the festivals, announcements of the government and public executions.

In 1918 the square turned into a communist cemetery and courtyard of weapon, to happen to receive in 1924 the Lenin's Mausoleum. One of the events most remembered in this square took place in 1945, when the Soviet army paraded to go to the war against the Germans in the Second World war. Nowadays the Red Square of Moscow receives after the year a big number of concerts.

In addition to the concerts, in her we can see the Cathedral of San Basilio, possibly one of the most photographed buildings of the world, with his domes spirals of attractive colors. This church was entrusted by Iván Terrible, to commemorate a military victory over the Mongols in 1522. Nine domes spirals correspond to nine chapels, and represent nine victories of the Russians on the Mongols in that war.

The legend counts that Iván Terrible extracted the eyes to the architect of the cathedral after constructing it, so that he could never construct anything more beautiful.

Other of the most beautiful buildings that we could find from the Red Square was the Cathedral of Kazán, destroyed by the Bolsheviks in the first decades of the XXth century. In his place they could turn coffees and shops, until in 1990 the Russian government was deciding to reconstruct it, so that we all could contemplate it today.

If you have thought to travel to Moscow, the Red Square is one of the essential visits to the city. Do approach her, so much in the daytime, as in the spectacular nature of the night. The truth that it will captivate you and will stun you.
