The St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, Russia
Hi! I’m Naomi and I’m very excited to show you the World’s Greatest Attractions.
It looks more like a cluster of brilliantly colored hot aired balloons than a cathedral. This
is St. Basil’s or the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Virgin by the Moat.
This flamboyantly shaped and colored building is one on Russia’s most important
churches. The cathedral was started in 1555 as eight chapels built around a larger ninth.
There have been several theories about the design of St. Basil’s but no certain answers.
The cathedral has had several editions and the whole church nearly escaped destruction
under Stalin. St. Basil’s is no longer a church. It now operates as a museum.
Thank you for watching our Travel Video Series. See you next time.
