Моско́вский Кремль - Kremlin
The Moscow Kremlin, is a historic fortified complex overlooking the Moskva River
(to the South), Saint Basil's Cathedral and Red Square (to the East) and the
Alexander Garden (to the West). It is the best known of kremlins (Russian
citadels) and includes five palaces, four cathedrals and the enclosing Kremlin
Wall with Kremlin towers. The complex served as the official residence of the Czars
and now serves as the one of the President of the Russian Federation.
The last place I saw during my trip to Moscow, obviously in the middle of a snow storm!
