This elegant Cathedral Square church, named for a legendary sacred robe, typifies Moscow architecture and is notable for its frescoes and wooden sculpture displays.

This is a private church of the metropolitans and patriarchs of Moscow and all the Russia. The architecture is influenced by Muscovite and Pskovian traditions. Inside it does feel small and cozy as a private church should be I guess. I loved the murals and iconostasis. You are not allowed to take photos here but I snapped a few :)

The subway or underground lives up to its reputation as it is clean, and a piece of art with beautiful chandeliers, frescoes, large bronze statues, marble, etc. the trains run very frequently and as soon as one leaves, there seems to be another one in a matter of minutes. They do have English speaking people to help you get tickets as well as English vending machines. And the fares are very reasonable as this is the most frequent use of transportation for the locals.

ABOVE ALL ELSE use the official website and ignore all others. We booked for the ballet, scheduled for the 30th April, which was of course cancelled due to the virus. The refund appeared on my credit card exactly 30 days later, exactly as promised. Booking was straightforward, and prices cheaper than the Royal Opera House, and we managed to book the front Row, Seats A6 and 7! Communications, in English and Russian, were excellent. I would not hesitate to use that official website in future -most impressive, secure and efficient.

The Moscow Print Yard was the first publishing house in Russia that was established at the behest of Ivan the Terrible in 1553. There the first Russian printed book was produced and Ivan Fedorov worked. There are some objects of cultural heritage on the Yard: the original fragment of Kitai-Gorod wall (1530s), two Chambers of The Moscow Print Yard (15-19th century) and an unusual building of Synodal Printing House. The historic headquarters of the Print Yard now house the Russian State University for the Humanities.

Unique antic church was built at 1628-1658. Rich decoration shows Russian architecture style.Inside you can find chandeliers donated by Tzar. As many churches it survived in many fires. However not many churches survived over Soviet period. This one was closed as church but was used as museum ground. Interesting place for visiting and for understanding our history.
