The Kremlin

2009 07 25 – Day 29 – Moscow

Surrounded by an imposing red wall with many towers, The Kremlin always used to conjure up such imagery of Cold War politics, that I wasn't expecting the array of 4 cathedrals and its history of use as a public space as well as a governmental one.
The one Cold War type administrative building I saw in there:


The rest were more classical like these:



3 of the 4 cathedrals


Interior of one – typical of them all.



The Tsar's Cannon... did they really use this?!? Or was it just for show? A Tsar's plaything.


The Kremlin wasn't just administration, religion and war though, it was also nature with a small well-tended park.
