Its monumental walls and towers, golden-domed cathedrals and ancient palaces combine to create a very unique and magnificent architectural ensemble.

From medieval citadel to modern power center, the Moscow Kremlin has played a dominant role in Russian life for over 800 years. In 1990 it was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
