Cathedral of Christ the Saviour: The Church of Christ the Saviour is a Russian Orthodox cathedral sited on the northern bank of the Moskva River, a few hundred meters southwest of the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia. It is the world's third-highest Orthodox Christian church structure, behind the People's Salvation Cathedral in Romania, Bucharest, and Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral in Saint Petersburg, Russia, with a total height of 103 meters (338 feet).
This is the second church to be constructed on this location and a popular place to see in Moscow. The old church, constructed in the 19th century, took more than 40 years to complete and hosted the world premiere of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Orchestral piece in 1882. On the orders of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, it was demolished in 1931. The destruction was planned to make room for the country's legislature, the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, to be housed in a massive Palace of the Soviets. The project began in 1937 but was put on hold in 1941 when Germany attacked the Soviet Union.

Paintings by Vasily Surikov, Konstantin Yuon, and others depict the rich history of Red Square. The square was designed to be Moscow's primary shopping district, and it was also the location of several public events and proclamations and the occasional crowning of Russia's Tsars.

Kremlin Chamber: The Kremlin Armoury is one of Moscow's oldest and historical museums and is now part of the Kremlin Museums. It is located in the Moscow Kremlin.
In 1508 the Kremlin Armoury was founded as the royal arsenal. The Armoury was in charge of making, acquiring, and storing weapons, jewelry, and other royal household items until the court was moved to St Petersburg. The Vyatkin brothers, Gavrila Ovdokimov, and Simon Ushakov, among the best Muscovite gunsmiths, jewelers, and painters, used to work there. They established iconography and graphic studios between 1640 and 1683, where they could teach painting and handicrafts.
