The Moscow Kremlin is a historic fortress and palace complex in the center of Moscow built of brick in the 15th century. The Kremlin is bordered by the Moscow River to the south, St. Basil's Cathedral and Red Square to the east, and the Alexander Gardens to the west.
Red Square is one of the oldest and largest squares in Moscow, the capital of Russia. It is located in Moscow's historic centre, in the eastern walls of the Kremlin. It is the city landmark of Moscow, with famous buildings such as Saint Basil's Cathedral, Lenin's Mausoleum and the GUM. In addition, it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990.
The Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed, commonly known as Saint Basil's Cathedral, is an Orthodox church in Red Square of Moscow, and is one of the most popular cultural symbols of Russia. The building, now a museum, is officially known as the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos on the Moat, or Pokrovsky Cathedral. It was built from 1555 to 1561 on orders from Ivan the Terrible and commemorates the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan. It was the city's tallest building until the completion of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in 1600.
The Bolshoi Theatre started out as a private theatre of the provincial prosecutor, Prince Pyotr Urusov. On March 28, 1776, Empress Catherine II signed off on giving the prince the privilege of "being the owner of all theatrical performances in Moscow" for a ten-year period. This date is considered the founding day of the Moscow Bolshoi Theatre. The privileged position did not relieve the prince of his duties: he had to build a stone theatre "with such external decoration so that it could serve as decoration for the city within five years." The maintenance of theatrical performances was financially burdensome, and Prince Urusov shared his "privilege" with the Russianized Englishman Michael Medox, an engineer, mechanic and a successful theatrical entrepreneur.
