A 16th century Russian church
on Red Square in Moscow, now a museum. Commissioned by Ivan IV
to commemorate his victories over the Mongol Khanates of Khazan
and Astrakhan, it was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin but is
called the Cathedral of St. Basil the Blessed. The church
built between 1555 and 1560 by Postnick and Barma combines the
stone Byzantine Dome style and the wooden Russian Tent shaped
style. The stone structure is dominated by a high octogonal
tower over a central chapel. The tower is surrounded by eight
smaller towers over four large octogonal chapels on the main
axes and four small polygonal ones between. They are enclosed
by a. gallery built later. The towers and their onion shaped
domes are heavily carved and though originally white-washed,
have been polychromed since the 17th century creating an exotic
splendor.
