The Kremlin is the historical, spiritual and political heart of Moscow and the city's most famous landmark and tourist attraction.
In 1635-1662 the constructors of the royal Terem Palace, the craftsmen Bazhen Ogurtsov, Trefil Sharutin, Antip Konstantinov and Larion Ushakov, erected the Verkhospassky Cathedral (Higher Cathedral of the Savior). Like all domestic churches of the Terem Palace, it has a 17th century copper roof and 11 small drums with gilded cupolas.
This part of the Kremlin is particularly striking, with beautiful shining tiles in bays and on drums, and an ornamental frieze; inside the cathedral, there are extremely valuable icons painted by Fyodor Zubov, a carved wooden iconostasis and Royal Doors decorated with embossed silver.

Arthus is the best. I have traveled all over the world and have been with many guides (including National Georgraphic tours). My trip to Moscow was one of the memorable trips I have taken mainly due to Arthur's efforts. Prior to leaving Moscow Arthur gave me a c.d. of photos that he took during the days we were together. He is also a near professional photographer. I would highly recommend him for individual or group tours.
