Cathedral observation decks

Cathedral of Christ the Savior

The Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow is a famous cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church. A majestic structure rises not far from the Kremlin on the left bank of the Moscow River. The temple was built in the 19th century, but in the 90s it was completely reconstructed. Today the shrine is a high-quality analogue of the original structure.

This is the largest cathedral in Russia, capable of accommodating up to ten thousand parishioners at a time. The height of the building, reaching one hundred and three meters, is impressive in its scale. The painting, with an area of ​​twenty-two square meters, looks especially impressive. The observation deck consists of four locations located between the bell towers. You can get here only with a guided tour.

The temple is a legendary place with an interesting history, around which myths hover. Previously, the place where the cathedral now stands was called Chertolye, which comes from the name of the Chertory stream flowing in the ravine. This territory was considered cursed, and therefore both people and animals avoided it. The zone was cleared after the Alekseevsky Convent was built here during the reign of Ivan the Terrible. It is believed that the nuns drove out dark forces with their presence, and the place became holy.

Bell tower "Ivan the Great"

Another interesting place with a long history. The church located on Cathedral Square today is one of the cultural heritage monuments. The central building was built on the basis of the Church of St. John the Climacus, and its bell tower was erected separately from the temple itself.

Over the centuries, the temple was changed several times and was subject to reconstruction. And the bell tower acquired its modern appearance already in 1600, when, by order of Boris Godunov, a superstructure was made. Interestingly, after this it became the tallest building in the capital. The height of the bell tower reaches 81 meters.

You can visit the site only as part of an excursion, and children under the age of twelve are not allowed here. This is due to the impressive height of the observation deck, which reaches twenty-five meters. From here you can see all the remarkable places in the surrounding areas of the capital.
