the Kremlin

The Kremlin is the place that people will likely invest a large portion of your energy when in Moscow. This complex of royal residences, church buildings, and great government structures is the home of the President and is braced by huge dividers that are up to 19 meters high and 6.5 meters thick in parts.

Situated between the Moskva River toward the south, Red Square toward the east and Alexandrovsky Gardens toward the west, the Kremlin is difficult to miss.

While a visitor can look inside at the Assumption Cathedral with its five brilliant arches, the Armory containing treasures from Russia's past, Terem Palace with its eleven vaults, Ivan the Great Bell Tower and the monster ringer and the Diamond Fund Exhibition of regal gems.
