...or Krasnaya Ploshchad...is among the most famous metropolitan squares in the world! Some 500m in length, Red Square is bordered by the Kremlin Wall, St. Basil's Cathedral (which takes centre stage for attention), GUM department store (which holds its own against any shopping mall in the world) and the multi-gabled red-brick State Historical Museum. Lenin's Mausoleum is still located there...amid rumours that he might be headed for St. Petersburg...beside the State Historical Museum is also the pretty Kazan Cathedral which is a replica of an original demolished in 1936...as is the Icon of the Kazan Virgin, the original having been stolen in 1904! Proceeding along, one will encounter the Resurrection Gate inside which is the Chapel of the Iverian Virgin...rather interesting too is the Monastery of the Epiphany with its cathedral ...which is a fine example of florid Moscow baroque...
