Entering the Kremlin walls to feel the country’s past and present. The Kremlin is an old fortress, the most important historical and political center of Russia. Today, it is also the seat of the Russian president. View the beautiful Cathedral Square. It was the place for coronations of the Russian rulers. Here the heads of the Russian Church, metropolitans and patriarchs were chosen, foreign ambassadors were received, church processions took place, and theatrical mysteries were enacted.
Visit the three main cathedrals. The Assumption was the church where coronations took place. The Annunciation was the site used for royal weddings. The Archangel Michael is the site where Russian monarchs are buried. It feels like the royal circle of life was being choreographed here on a tiny square.
The Annunciation Cathedral was also the site of a well known story about Ivan the Terrible and his seven wives. Ivan had married four of them officially in the Annunciation Cathedral. But when his next wedding was to take place, the church refused to let him in for the ceremony and he was left standing on the porch.
