Moscow Cathedral of Our Lady, alias St. Vasily's Cathedral. Located in Moscow, outside the walls of the Kremlin, between Red Square and the Moskva River, it is known as one of the Eight Wonders of the World, and is often seen as a symbol of Russia's unique position across Europe and Asia.It was built in 1555-1561 to commemorate the merger of the Duchy of Kazan and Astrakhan into Russia.

Moscow St. Basil's Cathedral:

Moscow St. Basil's Cathedral, designed by Postnik Yakovlev, is an Orthodox church located in Moscow's Red Square and is a symbol of traditional Russian architecture today. The church was commissioned by Ivan IV to be built between 1555 and 1561 to commemorate his conquest of the Kazan Khanate.

The church was originally envisioned as a group of chapels, each representing a saint, signifying that for each saint's feast day, the tsar won a battle. But a single tower in the center consolidated all the spaces into one cathedral.

Based on the axis of orientation of Red Square, the church is to the right, which gives it an asymmetrical appearance and even looks a bit messy in photos. Viewed from the west, we can still see the symmetry of this structure. The square main church is a tapering octagonal shape upwards, later topped by a gilded cupola. Four octagonal, medium-sized towers surround the main church at the four main points of orientation. The four smaller towers form a square and are interspersed among the medium-sized towers, forming the shape of the building's octagonal star.
