Cathedral of Vasily
This landmark is the Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed. People usually refer to it as Saint Basil’s Cathedral. Tsar Ivan the Terrible IV commissioned the building in 1555 as a tribute to the siege of Kazan and Astrakhan. The building was complete in 1561. The cathedral’s architecture was completely different from the traditional Byzantine style at that time. Today, Saint Basil’s Cathedral serves as a museum.
