St Basil's Cathedral

It was a rather wet day, so myself, Marina and Jenni decided to visit St Basil's Cathedral. The chuch was reasonably priced to visit. Every visitor to Moscow should visit Red Square at least once, and St Basil’s Cathedral is the most famous and interesting landmark in the square.  The onion domed cathedral is a must see, and its also worth buying a ticket to visit inside.  The interior is very different to the exterior! The cathedral is the most recognizable symbol of Russia. Its colorful onion domes are instantly recognizable around the world as emblems of Moscow. The design of St. Basil's Cathedral comprises of nine individual chapels. Each of the nine chapels has a unique onion dome, reflecting a victorious assault on the city of Kazan.
