545 RU - Kremlin and Red Square, Moscow (1990)

Brief Description

"Inextricably linked to all the most important historical and political events in Russia since the 13th century, the Kremlin (built between the 14th and 17th centuries by outstanding Russian and foreign architects) was the residence of the Great Prince and also a religious centre. At the foot of its ramparts, on Red Square, St Basil's Basilica is one of the most beautiful Russian Orthodox monuments."

莫斯科克里姆林宫和红场
"由俄罗斯和外国建筑家于14世纪至17世纪共同修建的克里姆林宫,作为沙皇的住宅和宗教中心,与13世纪以来俄罗斯所有最重要的历史事件和政治事件密不可分。在红场上防御城墙的脚下坐落的圣瓦西里教堂是俄罗斯传统艺术最漂亮的代表作之一。"
