Domes of the Terem Palace

Domes of the Terem Palace

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.

We spent four amazing days in Moscow with Arthur as our guide. Arthur made ours the trip of a lifetime. From his superior pre-planning assistance with tours and tickets to his excellent knowledge about the history and modern culture of Moscow Arthur met and exceeded our expectations. He is very professional, speaks excellent english, and is willing to adapt to individual likes and needs. I highly recommend Arthur to anyone traveling to Moscow. We would definitely use his services again if we visited Moscow in the future.
