I had a very busy morning on Saturday, I went to visit Cathedral Square.
The square owes its name to the three cathedrals facing it - Cathedrawl of the Dormition, Cathedral of the Archangel and Cathedral of the Annuciation.
Apart from these, the Palce of Facets, the Church of the Deposition of the Robe and the Church of the Twelve Apostles are placed there.
The tallest structure on the square (and formerly in all of Russia) is Ivan the Great Bell Tower, which also separates Sobornaya Square from Ivanovskaya Square.
The Cathedral Square is famous as the site of solemn coronation and funeral processions of all the Russian tsars, patriarchs, and Grand Dukes of Moscow. Even today, the square is used in the inauguration ceremony of the President of Russia.
