St. Basil's Cathedral is colorful and seems not a religious temple, at least not the ones we are used to seeing. The Cathedral belongs to the Russian Orthodox Church and its beauty is so lush it looks more like a fairy tale castle. Its nine domes in blue, white, green, yellow, red and gold are mesmerizing and its location helps further this fascination that every tourist feel for this little piece of heaven on earth. Basil is one of the most famous squares in the world, the Red Square.
In front of the Cathedral is the monument to Minin and Pozharsky. It is a bronze statue honoring the princes Dmitry Pozharsky and Kuzma Minin.
