Kremlin+ 5 Cathedrals
Sightseeing time – 3 hours

The Moscow Kremlin is one of the largest architectural ensembles in the world. It is home to the Moscow Kremlin State Museum of History and Culture. The first Kremlin walls were built in the mid-12th century. Two hundred years later, Moscow became the capital of a small princedom and since that time, the Kremlin has been the residence of Russia`s rulers. Today, part of the Kremlin is occupied by presidential offices; this area is closed to visitors. But during our tour, you will visit the majestic whitestone cathedrals of Blagoveshchensky (the Annunciation); Arkhangelsky (built in the name of Archangel Michael); and Uspensky (the Assumption), where every tsar and emperor of Russia was crowned; the Church of the Deposition of Our Lady`s Robe; the Patriarch`s Chambers with the Church of the Twelve Apostles; and the Ivan the Great Bell Tower Ensemble.

They all have stunning architecture and magnificent inner decoration. You will be amazed, too, by the size of the Tsar Kolokol, the 200-tonne Tsar Bell. The art of casting was highly developed in Moscow many centuries ago; the Tsar Cannon is another fine example of the early masters’ skills.
The Cathedral of the Assumption, built by architect Aristotle Fioravanti in 1475-1479, was the most important church in the country. All Russian tsars were crowned there.

The Cathedral of the Archangel, built by architect Aleviz Novy in 1505-1508, was the burial vault of the Grand Princes of Muscovy, of princes and Russian tsars up to the early 18th century.
The Cathedral of the Annunciation was the private church of the Grand Princes of Muscovy and, later, of Russian tsars. Master builders from Pskov built the cathedral in 1484-1489.
The Church of the Deposition of Our Lady`s Robe, built by Pskov craftsmen in 1484-1485, was the home church of the Russian metropolitans and, later, of the Russian patriarchs.
The Patriarch's Chambers with the Church of the Twelve Apostles were built in 1653-1655 for Patriarch Nikon, the first Russian "faith reformer."

The Ivan the Great Bell Tower Ensemble was created during the 16th and 17th centuries. Between 1505 and 1508, Italian architect Bon Friasin directed construction. A hundred years later, a new tier was added and the tower reached 81 metres in height. In 1532-1552, a church was built next to the Bell Tower to the design of architect Petroch Maly. At the end of the 17th century, this church was transformed into an Assumption Belfry. The first floor s a museum exhibition hall.

City tour - Novodevichy Convent
Sightseeing time - 4 hours

The Novodevichy Convent has been beautifying Moscow for more than 400 years. It was founded in 1524 by Prince Vassily III, father of Ivan The Terrible, in commemoration of the recovering of the old Russian city, Smolensk, after the Lithuanian invasion.
Over all these years, the nunnery was often the venue of many dramatic historic events. Its walls remember Boris Godounov's acceptance of the Russian crown. From here started the expulsion of Polish invaders in 1612. Also here, Peter the Great's half-sister, Sofia, was forced to take the veil. During the Big Fire of 1812, the main cathedral of nunnery, Smolensky, miraculously survived.

The architectural ensemble of the nunnery was completed at the end of the 17th century and to this day remains among the finest in Russia. In the oldest stone building, the Smolensk Cathedral, you can still see its 16th century frescoes and fantastic icon display, made by the greatest tsars' masters of that time.
Since 1994, in the summer, there are religious services in the cathedral. On the nunnery's grounds there are graves of the tsars' relatives, members of boyar families, participants of the Napoleonic War of 1812 and of writers and historians. Women should cover their heads when they enter the cathedral.
