    I walked from Borovitskaya metro station on the grey line 9, skirted the Kremlin along the banks of the Moscow river before ending up at St Basil’s on the edge of Red Square. It was a truly breathtaking sight to see it in the flesh. Unfortunately I did not have an opportunity to go inside. A very special place where there are so many fascinating buildings and statues to see.

    Just magnificent! Gorgeous and beautiful. You just have to see it with your own eyes. The cathedral has been a historical and tourist attraction.

    One of many great cathedrals in Russia. St.Basil's Cathedral is the iconic image of Red Square and rightly so. If you climb the steep stairs to the top of the central tower there is a small Nave. On the day I visited I had the good fortune to see the monks chanting a prayer which everyone stopped to listen to. The chant reverberated round the central dome and sounded magnificent. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

    Absolutely stunning exterior and well preserved interior (and artifacts). About £10 each to get in - you can get a free COVID test at the GUM across the road which allows you to enter as a foreigner. (Top floor of the GUM - you can't miss it). English and also Russian text descriptions of everything.

    (Translated by Google) One of the key attractions of the capital and a recognized cultural heritage site. It is not for nothing that it is often called the eighth wonder of the world. A building with multi-colored domes, the Cathedral of St. Basil the Blessed, which also bears the name of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos, on the moat near Red Square. (Original) Одна из ключевых достопримечательностей столицы и признанный объект культурного наследия. Его не зря часто называют восьмым чудом света. Здание с разноцветными куполами, храм Василия Блаженного, который также носит имя Покрова Пресвятой Богородицы, что на рву у Красной площади.

    Saint Basil's Cathedral is a stunning and iconic landmark in Moscow, Russia. The cathedral's unique onion-shaped domes and vibrant colors make it one of the most recognizable buildings in the world. The cathedral was built in the 16th century under the orders of Ivan the Terrible and is located in Red Square. Visitors to Saint Basil's Cathedral can explore its intricate interior, which is adorned with beautiful frescoes and ornate decorations. The cathedral has nine chapels, each with its own unique design and purpose. Visitors can also climb to the top of the cathedral for a breathtaking view of Moscow. The cathedral's history and architecture make it a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Moscow. Its location in Red Square makes it easily accessible and convenient to visit. However, visitors should be prepared for crowds and long lines, especially during peak tourist season. Overall, Saint Basil's Cathedral is a magnificent piece of history and architecture that should not be missed when visiting Moscow. Its unique design and stunning interior make it a memorable experience for all who visit.

    The iconic cathedral in the heart of Moscow has represented the country for many years. I was completely mesmerized to see the beauty of architecture. The colors and contrast of the whole Red Square and amid standing St. Basil Cathedral is indeed a good and joyful experience. For a moment it feels that life is full of colors. The entry ticket to the cathedral is 700 rubles. Photography/tripods are not allowed inside. If you explore the backside of the church you will experience more stunning views of the Moscow city. Its a gift to Russia. This place should be explored and highly recommended during your visit to Moscow.

    (Translated by Google) I recommend everyone to touch this unique Temple. Every person should touch this place at least once in his life. Enjoy the grace of this unique Temple. As a child, I always admired this temple in the pictures. But when I saw him live and entered him, then ... as they say in Odessa, there are two big differences. After the visit, they left a review from my family in the guestbook. (Original) Всем рекомендую прикоснуться к этому уникальному Храму. Каждый человек должен хотя бы один раз в жизни прикоснуться к этому месту. Насладиться благодатью этого уникального Храма. В детстве всегда любовался этим храмом на картинках. Но когда увидел его в живую и вошел в него, то... как говорят в Одессе две большие разницы. После посещения оставили отзыв от моей семьи в книге отзывов.

    It is mainly a church with a very excellent structure. It is more than 200 years old. It a very known tourist spot in moscow. The place is packed with people always. At Christmas they use new decorations at St basil’s cathedral. The red square is really close to it. There are many restaurants near this cathedral. The inside has old arts and paintings.It is near to the most known shopping mall in moscow “gym”.

    The Meringue Domes are only aesthetic I see. I wasn't even served with meringues when I entered. It was impossible to ask where the meringues were, since someone was banging on with an organ. Plus, there was nowhere you could buy these meringues. Worst meringue parlour ever. And who calls their parlour a cathedral? Super ostentatious. Looks nice though.

    A really beautiful place as on the outside as also on the inside! The Cathedral was build around 1500's. The awesome part is that you can go INSIDE the Cathedral, can get an audio-guide to listen about all the artifacts there, just as take pictures with and without flash! Because it is not an "active" Cathedral - rather a museum- you have to pay for the tickets to get in. The main theme of the Cathedral is obviously Christian Religion. But let me tell you - it is BEAUTIFUL! Knowing that the place is old, that Russian Zars were going there to worship is really amazing! People who go there are tourists, so it is normal to hear English, German, Spanish. The workers are really sweet and nice, always trying to help and navigate you. You can get a lot of cool pictures there!

    When you visit Moscow you know you have to visit Red Square and take a picture outside of St. Basil’s, but it really is worth visiting the inside as well and experiencing the amazing details and small “churches” that this historic building has to offer. We visited as part of a guided tour, but just touring on your own will get you a good feel for the history and majesty of it. When we visited there was also a small singing group inside the church that was beautiful to hear.

    Another one you were already going to do... But you absolutely should. I recommend checking the opening time (it changes depending on season) and making sure you're there half an hour before as the lines get very long. It is a bit cramped inside and moving around can be difficult with so many other people, so be patient and enjoy the wonderful cathedral.

    Altro gioiello in Piazza Rossa è senza dubbio la Cattedrale di San Basilio o cattedrale Pokrovsky. La sua costruzione è stata ordinata dallo zar Ivan il Terribile tra il 1555 e il 1561. Dall’esterno della cattedrale si possono ammirare le sue belle cupole, ognuna diversa dall’altra, contraddistinte da colori accesi e dalle caratteristiche forme rotondeggianti a cipolla, dedicata a Basilio, il “folle di Dio” venerato dallo stesso zar. E qui ci si può scatenare con foto, video e selfie!

    The most beautiful place in Russia, ancestral building in Moscow center. 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 original building, known as Trinity Church and later Trinity Cathedral, contained eight chapels arranged around a ninth, central chapel dedicated to the Intercession; a tenth chapel was erected in 1588 over the grave of the venerated local saint Vasily (Basil). In the 16th and 17th centuries, the church, perceived (as with all churches in Byzantine Christianity) as the earthly symbol of the Heavenly City, was popularly known as the "Jerusalem" and served as an allegory of the Jerusalem Temple in the annual Palm Sunday parade attended by the Patriarch of Moscow and the Tsar. The cathedral has nine domes (each one corresponding to a different church) and is shaped like the flame of a bonfire rising into the sky, a design that has no parallel in Russian architecture. Dmitry Shvidkovsky, in his book Russian Architecture and the West, states that "it is like no other Russian building. Nothing similar can be found in the entire millennium of Byzantine tradition from the fifth to the fifteenth century ... a strangeness that astonishes by its unexpectedness, complexity and dazzling interleaving of the manifold details of its design." The cathedral foreshadowed the climax of Russian national architecture in the 17th century. As part of the program of state atheism, the church was confiscated from the Russian Orthodox community as part of the Soviet Union's antireligious campaigns and has operated as a division of the State Historical Museum since 1928. It was completely secularized in 1929, and remains a federal property of the Russian Federation. The church has been part of the Moscow Kremlin and Red Square UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, weekly Orthodox Christian services with prayer to St. Basil have been restored since 1997.

    Храм Покрова на Рву ( храм Василия Блаженного) на Красной площади по праву носит имя восьмого чуда света и является визитной карточкой Москвы. Это – одна из ключевых достопримечательностей столицы и признанный объект культурного наследия. Здание с разноцветными куполами, что на рву у Красной площади, сразу предстает перед гостями города во всем своем величии. Не менее интересна и история создания храма – он пережил немало катастроф и тревожных событий, но сохранился практически в первозданном виде.

    (Translated by Google) Built in the Red Square of Moscow in 1555-1561, the architectural style and decoration of this tall structure is breathtaking. Its minarets and domes are multicolored. It was built by decree of Ivan IV of Russia to commemorate the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan. This church dome has authoritarian structures in Russia (most Orthodox churches in Russia) and Bavaria, Germany (German: Zwiebelturm (= "Onion Tower"), plural: Zwiebeltürme, in most Catholic churches), but it is often seen in Eastern Europe, , The Mughal Empire, and the Middle East and Central Asia. The popular belief was that the onion dome was the symbol of the burning candle. In 1917, the religious philosopher Prince Yevgeny Trubesky argued that the Russian church dome may not have a simple logical explanation for the onion shape. According to Trubesky, the drums adorned at the head of the dome are sharpened in such a way that they become the symbol of the candle, thus creating a certain aesthetic and religious mentality. Another explanation is that the onion dome is actually a reminder of the small (room) of the Holy Sepulcher Church in Jerusalem. (Original) ১৫৫৫-১৫৬১ খ্রিষ্টাব্দে মস্কোর লাল চত্বরে নির্মিত এই সুউচ্চ স্থাপনাটির স্থাপত্যশৈলী ও অঙ্গসজ্জা নয়নাভিরাম। এর মিনার ও গম্বুজ সমূহ বহুবর্ণিল। কাজান এবং আস্ত্রাখানের বন্দী করাকে স্মরণীয় করে রাখার উদ্দেধ্যে রাশিয়ার ইভান IV-এর ফরমানে এটি নির্মাণ করা হয়েছিল। এই চার্চ গম্বুজের কর্তৃত্ববাদী কাঠামো আছে রাশিয়ায় (রাশিয়ায় অধিকাংশ অর্থডক্স গির্জায়) এবং বাভারিয়া, জার্মানি (জার্মান: Zwiebelturm (= "পেঁয়াজ টাওয়ার"), বহুবচন: Zwiebeltürme, অধিকাংশ ক্যাথলিক গীর্জায়), কিন্তু প্রায়শই এটি দেখা যায় অস্ট্রিয়া, উত্তরপূর্ব ইতালি, পূর্ব ইউরোপ, মুঘল সাম্রাজ্য, এবং মধ্যপ্রাচ্য এবং মধ্য এশিয়ায়. জনপ্রিয় বিশ্বাস ছিল পেঁয়াজ গম্বুজ হচ্ছে জ্বলন্ত মোমবাতির প্রতীকীরূপ । ১৯১৭ সালে, ধর্মীয় দার্শনিক প্রিন্স ইয়েভগেনি ট্রুবেস্কয় যুক্তি দেন, রাশিয়ান গির্জার গম্বুজের পেঁয়াজ আকৃতির সাধারণ যৌক্তিক ব্যাখ্যা নাও থাকতে পারে। ট্রুবেস্কয়ের মতে, গম্বুজের মাথায় সুশোভিত ড্রামগুলোকে এমনভাবে সুক্ষ করা হয়েছে যাতে সেগুলি মোমবাতির প্রতিক হয়ে ওঠে, এভাবেই নির্দিষ্ট নান্দনিক ও ধর্মীয় বিশ্বাসের মানসিকতা তৈরি হয়। অন্য ব্যাখ্যা হল, পেঁয়াজ গম্বুজ আসলে জেরুসালেমের হলি সেপুল্ক্রে চার্চের ছোট (রুম) এর স্মৃতিস্বরূপ।

    (Translated by Google) St. Basil's Cathedral (Russian: Собор Васианд Блаженного) is an onion-like cathedral in Red Square, Moscow, famous for its colorful, domed roofs. It is confused with the Kremlin Palace as a common mistake. It was built by Ivan the Terrible in order to celebrate the victories of the Russian State against Kazan and Astrakhan khanates between 1555 and 1561. Eight domes designed in different ways symbolize eight different victories. The domes, which were originally solid gold, were painted in different colors after 1670. Its tallest tower is about 65 meters high. There is a rumor among the local people that the building was designed by an Italian architect and that the architect was blinded to prevent repeating the building. The church is used as a museum today. For the anniversary of St. Basil's Cathedral, the building has been completely renovated. For ten years of restoration work, the state and foundations provided $ 14 million in financial support. The Cathedral, which was instructed to be established in 1555 by Ivan the Terrible, was opened for worship in 1561. (Original) Aziz Vasil Katedrali (Rusça: Собор Василия Блаженного), Moskova, Kızıl Meydan'da soğana benzeyen, rengarenk, kubbemsi çatılarıyla ünlü bir katedraldir. Yaygın bir hata olarak Kremlin Sarayı ile karıştırılır. 1555 - 1561 yılları arasında Rus Devleti'nin Kazan ve Astrahan hanlıklarına karşı kazandığı zaferleri kutlamak amacıyla Korkunç İvan tarafından yaptırılmıştır. Değişik şekilde tasarlanmış olan sekiz kubbe, sekiz ayrı zaferi simgelemektedir. Önceleri som altın olan kubbeler 1670'den sonra değişik renklerde boyanmıştır. En uzun kulesi yaklaşık 65 metre yüksekliktedir. Yöre halkı arasında yapının bir İtalyan mimarın tasarımı olduğu, daha sonra yapıyı tekrar etmemesi için mimarın kör edildiği rivayeti dolaşır. Kilise, bugün müze olarak kullanılmaktadır. Aziz Vasil Katedrali'nin yıldönümü için bina tamamen yenilendi. On yıldır devam eden restorasyon çalışmaları için devlet ve vakıflar 14 milyon dolar mali destek verdi. Korkunç İvan tarafından 1555 yılında kurulması için talimat verilen Katedral 1561'de de ibadete açıldı.

    (Translated by Google) Incomparable, delightful, masterpiece! What other epithet to pick up the St. Basil's Cathedral? In a word, we can say - congenial! Otherwise, they would not have included it in the UNESCO list ... The Temple unites ten churches in itself, Cathedral of the Intercession of the Most Holy Mother of God its full name, Grace, grace, beauty captivates everyone, The triumph of the spiritual principle in the flesh. Built in honor of the victory over the Kazan Khanate, The cathedral expanded and ripped open over Red Square. Fitting harmoniously into the Red Square space, As if God showed us perfection through the masters. The temple is not functioning, here is a branch of the Historical Museum, But this did not diminish his grace. In amazement you stand before the Temple in awe, And the heart in bliss does not get tired of trembling ... (Original) Бесподобно, восхитительно, шедеврально! Какой ещё эпитет к Собору Василия Блаженного подобрать? Одним словом можно сказать – конгениально! Иначе не стали бы его в список ЮНЕСКО включать… Десять церквей в себе Храм объединяет, Собо́р Покрова́ Пресвято́й Богоро́дицы полное название его, Изяществом, грацией, красотою всех пленяет, Духовного начала во плоти торжество. Построенный в честь победы над Казанским ханством, Собор разросся и над Площадью Красной вспарил. Гармонично вписавшись в Красной площади пространство, Как будто Бог совершенство через мастеров нам явил. Храм – не действующий, здесь филиал Исторического музея, Но от этого не приуменьшилась его благодать. В изумлении стоишь пред Храмом благоговея, И сердце в блаженстве не устаёт трепетать...

    (Translated by Google) It is completely called a little differently - the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin on the Moat. But the people got this name. The moat mentioned in the name of the temple was indeed once there. Azevizov moat performed a protective function, its depth reached 13 meters. Now, of course, there is nothing left of him for a long time. The Church of St. Basil consists of 11 churches grouped together. It currently belongs to the State Historical Museum. UNESCO has included the Church of St. Basil in the list of world cultural heritage. The first church, around which others were built, eventually became the Cathedral of St. Basil, was built by order of Basil III. It was Ivan the Terrible, after the conquest of Kazan, who ordered to unite the churches built on Red Square, which were then wooden, into one stone. This is how the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built (interesting facts about Red Square). Four of the eleven churches of the cathedral (the churches of Alexander Svirsky, Gregory of Armenia, Cyprian and Justin, the Three Patriarchs of Constantinople) are dedicated to saints whose days of remembrance coincided with the days of the most important battles for Kazan. It is still unknown who was the author of the project and architect of the Church of St. Basil. There are three main versions, but none of them can be called reliable. If you look at the temple from above, you can see that the churches, which are located on the perimeter around the central, are manifested in the form of a clear geometric figure - the Star of Bethlehem, a symbol of the Blessed Virgin. According to one of the legends, Ivan the Terrible ordered either to put in prison, or to blind, or to completely decapitate the architect after the construction was completed, so that he would never build a cathedral better than this one. Basil the Blessed was canonized after his death, and his relics are still kept in the church. The man who captured Moscow in 1812, Napoleon tried to blow up the cathedral, but due to rainy weather he did not succeed, the water extinguished the wicks and wet the gunpowder. In the 30s of the XX century, during the restoration works in the church of St. Basil, a secret passage was discovered. He once led to a hiding place where the royal treasury was kept. Initially, the Church of St. Basil was crowned with 25 gilded domes, which symbolized the Lord and the elders in his throne. Today there are 10 domes, each of which is unique in its finish and color. During the construction of the cathedral, the architects used special techniques to create a unique acoustic sound inside the building. Clay pots were laid in the walls, the necks of which were directed towards the interior of the buildings. Under Soviet rule, the cathedral functioned exclusively as a museum, but in 1991 it was reopened. In 2061 the temple will be only 500 years old .... (Original) Повністю він називається трохи інакше - Собор Покрова Пресвятої Богородиці, що на Рву. Але народі закріпилося саме цю назву. Рів, який згадується в назві храму, дійсно колись там був. Азевізов рів виконував захисну функцію, його глибина сягала 13 метрів. Зараз від нього, звичайно, давно вже нічого не залишилося. Храм Василя Блаженного складається з 11 церков, згрупованих разом. В даний час він належить до Державного історичного музею. Організація ЮНЕСКО включила храм Василя Блаженного в список світової культурної спадщини. Перша церква, навколо якої були побудовані інші, в результаті стали собором Василя Блаженного, була побудована ще за наказом Василя III. Саме Іван Грозний після підкорення Казані повелів об'єднати побудовані на Червоній площі церкви, які тоді були дерев'яними, в один кам'яний. Так і був побудований собор Покрови Пресвятої Богородиці (цікаві факти про Красній площі). Чотири з одинадцяти церков собору (церкви Олександра Свірського, Григорія Вірменського, Кипріяна і Юстини, Трьох Патріархів Константинопольських) присвячені святим, дні поминання яких збігалися з днями найважливіших боїв за Казань. До сих пір достеменно невідомо, хто був автором проекту і архітектором храму Василя Блаженного. Існує три основні версії, але жодну з них не можна назвати достовірної. Якщо подивитися на храм зверху, то можна побачити, що церкви, які розташовані по периметру навколо центральної, проявляються у вигляді чіткого геометричну фігуру - Віфлеємську зірку, символ Пресвятої Богородиці. Згідно з однією з легенд, Іван Грозний велів то чи посадити в темницю, то чи засліпити, чи то зовсім обезголовити архітектора після завершення будівництва, щоб той ніде і ніколи не побудував собору краще, ніж цей. Василь Блаженний після смерті був канонізований, а його мощі до сьогодні зберігаються в храмі. Чоловік, який захопив в 1812 році Москву Наполеон намагався підірвати собор, але через дощову погоду у нього нічого не вийшло, вода загасила гноти і намочила порох. У 30 роки XX століття при проведенні реставраційних робіт у храмі Василя Блаженного був виявлений таємний хід. Колись він вів в тайник, де зберігалася царська скарбниця. Спочатку храм Василя Блаженного вінчали 25 позолочених куполів, які символізували Господа і старців у його трону. У наші дні залишилося 10 куполів, кожен з яких унікальний своєю обробкою і забарвленням. При будівництві собору архітекторами використовувалися спеціальні прийоми для створення унікального акустичного звучання всередині споруди. В стіни закладали глиняні горщики, горловини яких були спрямовані в напрямку внутрішнього простору будівель. За радянської влади собор функціонував виключно в якості музею, але в 1991 році в ньому були відновлені богослужіння. В 2061р. храму виповниться всього 500 років....

    (Translated by Google) The Cathedral is truly beautiful and is a key stop for anyone visiting Moscow. Imposing, it overlooks the main square of Moscow (Red Square) and it is worth observing it both day and night. During the night the lighting makes it particularly suggestive. With attention to the smallest details and details, and the domes are very beautiful and refined. It is not easy to describe it, but you have to see it directly live. (Original) La Cattedrale è veramente bellissima ed è una tappa fondamentale per chi visita Mosca.

    (Translated by Google) The Intercession Cathedral is a landmark place, a symbol of Russia. It is imperative to visit, walking along its endless passages is very interesting. The exposition is well done, it is easy to walk along the transitions, you will not get lost and you will see everything. It's cool inside, because part of the route goes through open galleries, and the temple is not heated (important for winter). Inside, the exposition is well thought out. The audio guide is normal, it will be boring without it, take the audio guide at the box office. (Original) Покровский собор - знаковое место, символ России. Побывать нужно обязательно, походить по его бесконечным переходам очень интересно. Хорошо сделана экспозиция, по переходам легко пройти, не потеряетесь и все увидите. Внутри прохладно, т.к. часть маршрута идет через открытые галереи, а храм не отапливается (актуально для зимы). Внутри экспозиция продумана. Аудиогид нормальный, без него будет скучно, берите аудиогид в кассе.

    (Translated by Google) The construction of churches near the Kremlin wall in honor of the military victories won began with Vasily III, who ordered the construction of a temple in the name of the Origin of the Honorable Cross of the Lord in honor of his capture of Smolensk and dedicated its thrones to those holidays and saints whose days of memory fell on the days of victories. As a result of the Kazan campaigns of Tsar Ivan the Terrible, the Kazan Khanate was annexed to the Moscow state. The capture of Kazan took place on October 2, 1552, on the day of the memory of Cyprian and Justina, the day after the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos. According to Nina Moleva, during these campaigns on the heels of Troitskaya Square (present-day Red Square), "camp" wooden churches were erected in memory of the victories over the Tatars the name of the Intercession of the Virgin. On October 1, 1554, at the behest of Ivan the Terrible, in honor of the Kazan victory, a wooden Church of the Intercession with seven chapels was consecrated. It stood for less than a year and was dismantled, and a stone cathedral was laid in its place. The construction of the temple began in 1555. Its main part was built by the fall of 1559. At the same time, all of its churches were consecrated, except for the central one. A year and a half later, on June 29, 1561, the entire cathedral was consecrated, and this day became the date of completion of the construction of the temple. The exact date of the completion of the construction of the Intercession Cathedral became known when the restorers in 1957-1961 revealed the text of the temple-created "chronicle" made in a circle at the transitions from the octagon to the tent and on the edges of the tent of the Intercession Cathedral: "By the grace of God and the Most Holy Theotokos by mercy and all saints by prayers By the order of the pious Tsar Grand Duke Ivan Vasilyevich of All Russia, the autocrat and with his noble children under Tsarevich Ivan and under Tsarevich Theodore, with the blessing of Macarius Metropolitan of All Russia, this holy church of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos was completed in the summer of 7069 June 29 in memory of the saints and all the Apostles and Paul in honor and glory of the Holy Trinity. " This gives the date June 29, 1561, when the construction of the church was completed. (Original) Строительство храмов около Кремлевской стены в честь одержанных военных побед началось c Василия III, который повелел построить храм во имя Происхождения честнаго Креста Господня в честь взятия им Смоленска и посвятил его престолы тем праздникам и святым, дни памяти которых приходились на дни побед. В результате Казанских походов царя Ивана Грозного к Московскому государству было присоединено Казанское ханство. Взятие Казани произошло 2 октября 1552 года в день памяти Киприана и Иустины, на следующий день после Покрова Пресвятой Богородицы. По мнению Нины Молевой, во время этих походов на взлобье Троицкой площади (нынешняя Красная площадь) ставились «походные» деревянные церкви в память об одержанных победах над татарами, а после присоединения Казани к Московскому государству Иван Грозный повелел объединить эти церкви в один каменный храм во имя Покрова Богородицы. 1 октября 1554 года по повелению Иоанна Грозного в честь Казанской победы был освящён деревянный храм Покрова с семью приделами. Он простоял менее года и был разобран, а на его месте заложили каменный собор. Строительство храма началось в 1555 году. Основная его часть была возведена к осени 1559-го. Тогда же освятили все его церкви, кроме центральной. Спустя полтора года, 29 июня 1561, был освящён весь собор, а этот день стал датой завершения строительства храма. Точная дата завершения строительства Покровского собора стала известна, когда реставраторы в 1957—1961 годах раскрыли текст храмозданной «летописи», сделанной по кругу на переходах от восьмерика к шатру и на гранях шатра Покровского храма: «Божиим благоволением и Пресвятыя Богородицы милостию и всех святых молитвами повелением благочестивого царя великого князя Ивана Васильевича всея Руси самодержца и при его благородных чадех при царевиче Иване и при царевиче Феодоре по благословению Макария митрополита всея Руси совершена бысть святая сия церковь Покров Пресвятыя Богородицы в лета 7069 месяца июня 29 на память святых и всехвальных верховных апостолов Петра и Павла в честь и славу Святыя Троицы». Отсюда получается дата 29 июня 1561 года, когда было завершено строительство церкви.

    St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow Visited on 5/10/2019 Any tourist comes to Moscow must not miss visiting St. Basil's Cathedral. It is an Orthodox church in Red Square near the Kremlin. St. Basil's is a cluster of buildings - a central church surrounded by nine auxiliary churches, eight dedicated to Ivan's eight victories over the Tatars. The cathedral’s original colour was said to be white to match the white stone of the Kremlin, while the domes were gold. In the 17th century, the façade and domes began to be painted in multi-colours like what are today. They look very "cute" to say the least. The Red Square is big, but mist of the visitors gather around the section near the St Basil's Cathedral to have a memorable snap shot. The building is now a museum, but my wife's and my nain objective is have close encounter of this unique architecture in the world. I encourage those who can spare more time, do explore the interior and the museum.

The construction of the cathedral was carried out from 1555 to 1561. The cathedral unites eleven churches (chapels), some of which are consecrated in honor of the saints, whose days of memory fell on the decisive battles for Kazan. The central church was built in honor of the Intercession of the Virgin, around which separate churches are grouped in honor of: the Holy Trinity, the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem, Nicholas Velikoretsky, Three Patriarchs: Alexander, John and Paul the New, Gregory of Armenia, Cyprian and Justina, Alexander Svirsky and Varlaam Khutynsky, placed on one base-basement, as well as a chapel in honor of St. Basil the Blessed, after whom the temple received a second, better known name, and the Church of St. John the Blessed, reopened after a long desolation in November 2018. The name of the cathedral mentions a ditch that ran along the Kremlin wall and served as a defensive fortification (Alevizov ditch), its depth was about 13 meters, and its width was about 36 meters. The cathedral is included in the Russian list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and is a branch of the State Historical Museum (Original) Собо́р Покрова́ Пресвято́й Богоро́дицы, что на Рву (Покро́вский собо́р, собо́р Покрова́ на Рву, разговорное — собо́р (храм) Васи́лия Блаже́нного) — православный храм на Красной площади в Москве, памятник русской архитектуры. Строительство собора велось с 1555 по 1561 год. Собор объединяет одиннадцать церквей (приделов), часть из которых освящена в честь святых, дни памяти которых пришлись на решающие бои за Казань. Центральная церковь сооружена в честь Покрова Богородицы, вокруг которой группируются отдельные церкви в честь: Святой Троицы, Входа Господня в Иерусалим, Николы Великорецкого, Трёх Патриархов: Александра, Иоанна и Павла Нового, Григория Армянского, Киприана и Иустины, Александра Свирского и Варлаама Хутынского, размещённые на одном основании-подклете, а также придел в честь Василия Блаженного, по имени которого храм получил второе, более известное название, и церковь Иоанна Блаженного, вновь открытая после длительного запустения в ноябре 2018 года. В названии собора упомянут ров, проходивший вдоль Кремлёвской стены и служивший оборонительным укреплением (Алевизов ров), его глубина была около 13 метров, а ширина — около 36 метров. Собор входит в российский список объектов Всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО и является филиалом Государственного исторического музея

    Because the church has no analogue—in preceding, contemporary, or later architecture of Muscovy and Byzantine cultural tradition in general—the sources that inspired Barma and Postnik are disputed. Eugène Viollet-le-Duc rejected European roots for the cathedral, opining that its corbel arches were Byzantine and ultimately Asian. A modern "Asian" hypothesis considers the cathedral a recreation of Qolşärif Mosque, which was destroyed by Russian troops after the siege of Kazan. Nineteenth-century Russian writers, starting with Ivan Zabelin, emphasized the influence of the vernacular wooden churches of the Russian North; their motifs made their ways into masonry, particularly the votive churches that did not need to house substantial congregations. David Watkin also wrote of a blend of Russian and Byzantine roots, calling the cathedral "the climax" of Russian vernacular wooden architecture. The church combines the staggered layered design of the earliest (1505–1508) part of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower, the central tent of the Church of Ascension in Kolomenskoye (1530s), and the cylindric shape of the Church of Beheading of John the Baptist in Dyakovo (1547); but the origin of these unique buildings is equally debated. The Church in Kolomenskoye, according to Sergei Podyapolsky, was built by Italian Petrok Maly, although mainstream history has not yet accepted his opinion. Andrey Batalov revised the year of completion of Dyakovo church from 1547 to the 1560s–70s, and noted that Trinity Church could have had no tangible predecessors at all.

    (Translated by Google) Pokrovsky Cathedral (Покровский собор - Pakrovsky Tailor) or Vasily Blazenny Cathedral (храм Василия Блаженного - drama Vasily Blazennava - translated: Happy Vazul) Before we enter the square, we already see… We are in us, because we are waiting for the sight of the central church of all Russians, the realization of the tale of the onion domes, the architectural miracle, which has long been known to us as a symbol from somewhere. It was built between 1555 and 1561 by Iván Rettegett. On the occasion of the 1252 year victory over the Golden Horde. The Votive Church was originally called the Temple of the Patron (Virgin) and was therefore named Pokrovsky Cathedral, as the patron saint of the Tsar's campaign against the Tartars began on the feast of Mary on October 2. At the request of the extreme ruler, each victorious battle had to be recorded in a separate chapel (as indicated by the domes of each tower separately) - this is how this huge edifice was formed in the foreground of the Savior Tower (Spaskaya Tower). The cathedral got its well-known name, which is used today, from the last added tenth part of the church, which was built in the 16th century. at the end of the twentieth century they were added to the block and one of the favorite holy men of the Russians, Blessed Vasily (Vasily Blazenny), or, as it was called, was erected above the earthly remnants of the Holy Fool. (Otherwise, this is the first chapel we enter through the main entrance.) One of the most captivating works of all time in Russian architecture is this tower-domed church conglomerate, which surpasses all its visitors with its unparalleled picturesque mass and fantastic architecture. (Original) A Pokrovszkij Székesegyház (Покровский собор – Pakrovszkij szabór) vagy más néven Vaszilij Blazsennij Székesegyház (храм Василия Блаженного - hrám Vaszílija Blazsennava – lefordítva: Boldog Vazul) Mielőtt bejönnénk a térre, már látjuk… Bennünk van, mert várjuk minden oroszok központi templomának látványát, a hagymakupolák meséjének megvalósulását, az építészeti csodát, mely szimbólumként valahonnan már régen ismert számunkra. 1555 és 1561 között építtette Rettegett Iván, háláját Isten iránt kifejezendő a kazanyi tatárok, az un. Aranyhorda felett aratott 1252 évi győzelem alkalmából. A fogadalmi templom eredetileg az Oltalmazó (Szűz) Temploma nevet viselte és ezért Pokrovszkij Székesegyház volt a neve, ugyanis az oltalmazó Mária ünnepén, október 2.-án kezdte meg a cár hadjáratának legutolsó csatáját a tatárok ellen. Az extrém uralkodó kívánságára minden egyes győzelmes csatát egy külön kápolna kellett megörökítsen (erre utalnak az egyes tornyok kupolái külön-külön) – így alakult ki ez a hatalmas építmény a Megváltó-torony (Szpasszkaja-torony) előterében. A székesegyház a napjainkban használt, közismert nevét az utoljára hozzáépített tizedik templomrészről kapta, amelyet a XVI. század végén toldottak a tömbhöz és az oroszok egyik kedvenc szent embere, Boldog Vaszilij (Vaszilij Blazsennij), vagy amint még nevezték: a Szent Bolond földi maradványi fölé emeltek. (Egyebekben ez az első kápolna, ahova a főbejáraton áthaladva bejutunk.) Az orosz építészetben minden idők egyik legmegkapóbb alkotása ez a tornyos-kupolás templom-konglomerátum, mely páratlanul festői tömegével, fantasztikus architektúrájával minden látogatóját lehengerli.

    (Translated by Google) Moscow Is A Famous Cathedral In The Red Square With Its Colorful Domed Pines That Look Like An Onion. As A Common Mistake Is Confused With The Kremlin Palace. It was built by Ivan the Terrible in order to celebrate the victories of the Russian States against Kazan and Astrakhan Khanates between 1555-1561. Eight Domes, Differently Designed, Symbolize Eight Separate Victories. Previously, Solid Gold Domes were Painted in Different Colors after 1670. The Tallest Tower Is About 65 Meters High. Rumors circulate among the locals that the building was the design of an Italian architect, and that the architect was blinded to avoid repeating the building. The church is used as a museum today. Building Completely Renovated for the Anniversary of St. Basil's Cathedral. Government and Foundations Provided 14 Million Dollars Financial Support For Ten Years Ongoing Resoration Works. The Cathedral, which was instructed to be established in 1555 by Ivan the Terrible, was opened for worship in 1561.

Değişik Şekilde Tasarlanmış Olan Sekiz Kubbe, Sekiz Ayrı Zaferi Simgelemektedir. Önceleri Som Altın Kubbeler 1670’den Sonra Değişik Renklerde Boyanmıştır. En Uzun Kulesi Yaklaşık 65 Metre Yüksekliktedir. Yöre Halkı Arasında Yapının Bir İtalyan Mimarın Tasarımı Olduğu, Daha Sonra Yapıyı Tekrar Etmemesi İçin Mimarın Kör Edildiği Rivayeti Dolaşır. Kilise, Bugün Müze Olarak Kullanılmaktadır. Aziz Vasil Katedrali’nin Yıldönümü İçin Bina Tamamen Yenilendi. On Yıldır Devam Eden Resorasyon Çalışmaları İçin Devlet Ve Vakıflar 14 Milyon Dolar Mali Destek Verdi. Korkunç İvan Tarafından 1555 Yılında Kurulması İçin Talimat Verilen Katedral 1561’de İbadete Açıldı.

    (Translated by Google) The Saint Basil's Cathedral, which is located in the Kremlin square, which is the first place to be visited by everyone who goes to Moscow, is the most iconic structure of Moscow, even all of Russia. With its colorful domes, it looks more like a fairy tale castle than a cathedral. We can summarize the building story of the cathedral, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage list as follows; In 1552, Ivan the Terrible wanted to build a monument to commemorate his victories against the Tatars. Upon this, the Italian architect Barma started the construction of the Saint Basil's Cathedral in 1555 and completed the construction of the work in 1561. Legends are always invented about such structures, and the cathedral's; as the Italian architect's eyes were seared by Ivan the Terrible so that he would not build an example of this magnificent work anywhere else. If we come to the properties of the building; Each of the 8 domes of the cathedral represents 8 separate victories in battles. The domes, which were said to be solid gold in the first period, were painted in different colors in 1670, in 1860 these colors were made more complex and the domes were given their present-day images. St. Basil's Cathedral, which serves as a museum today, awaits its visitors. The building will remain in your mind as the most different cathedral you have ever seen. On this trip, it was very cold, snowy and it was not crowded due to the pandemic. It is a very important place that should be seen very different day and night. (Original) Moskova ya yolu düşen herkesin muhakkak görmek ilk uğradığı Kremlin meydanin da bulunan Aziz Vasil Katedrali, uluslararası adıyla Saint Basil’s Cathedral, Moskova’nın hatta tüm Rusya’nın en ikonik yapısı… Rengarenk kubbeleri ile katedralden çok bir masal şatosuna benzemektedir. UNESCO Dünya Mirası listesinde bulunan katedralin yapilis hikayesini soyle özetleyebiliriz; 1552 yılında Korkunç İvan, Tatarlara karşı kazandığı zaferlerin anısına bir eser inşa ettirmek ister. Bunun üzerine İtalyan mimar Barma, 1555 yılında Aziz Vasil Katedrali’nin yapım çalışmalarına başlar ve eserin yapımını 1561 yılında tamamlar. Bu tür yapılarla ilgili her zaman efsaneler uydurulur, katedralinki ise; bu muhteşem eserin bir örneğini başka yerde inşa etmemesi için Korkunç İvan tarafından İtalyan mimarın gözlerinin dağlandığı şeklinde… Yapının özelliklerine gelecek olursak; katedralin 8 kubbesinin her biri de, savaşlarda kazanılan 8 ayrı zaferi temsil ediyor. İlk yapıldığı dönemlerde som altından olduğu söylenen kubbeler, 1670 yılında farklı renklere boyanıyor, 1860 yılında bu renkler daha da karmaşık bir hale getiriliyor ve kubbelere bugünkü görüntüleri veriliyor. Günümüzde bir müze olarak hizmet veren Aziz Vasil Katedrali ziyaretçilerini bekliyor. Yapı, gördüğünüz en farklı katedral olarak aklınızda kalacak. Bu gidisimizde çok soğuk, karli ve pandemi nedeniyle çok kalabalık yoktu. Gunduz ve gecesi çok farklı görülmesi gereken çok önemli bir yer .

    Ivan the Terrible’s unparalleled, colorful 16th-century Orthodox church named after a Muscovite shoemaker and saint. In 1554, the first Czar of Russia, Ivan Vasilyevich—known as Ivan the Terrible—ordered work to begin on the construction of a cathedral to honor his conquest of the independent khanates of Kazan and Astrakhan. The cathedral was completed in 1561 and was officially known as the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Virgin on the Moat, because it was built on the moat that separated the Kremlin (see pp.150–151) from the town. It is more popularly known as St. Basil’s, after the “Holy Fool,” Basil the Blessed, who was buried in the church after his death in 1557. Legend says the Czar blinded the cathedral’s architect, Postnik Yakovlev, to prevent him from building a more beautiful church. Religious and secular uses. Set on white stone foundations, St. Basil’s was built in red brick around an internal wooden frame; where stone was used, it was painted to look like brick. Its onion domes were originally hemispherical and gilded; the cathedral’s bright colors were added from the 17th century on. Later, its interior was also covered with intricate murals and icons. St. Basil’s survived many fires and escaped the destruction planned by Napoleon’s army in 1812 and Stalin’s regime in the 20th century. A museum since 1929, it now forms part of the Red Square and Kremlin World Heritage Site. Religious services are held once a year on the Day of the Intercession in October.
