Travel to Russia

Kazan Cathedral

Kazan Cathedral is a Russian Orthodox church, on the Red Square in Moscow. The current building is a reconstruction of the original one, destroyed under the order of Joseph Stalin in 1936. The original construction was built as a shrine in the early 1630s, and after it was destroyed by fire in 1632, the Tsar ordered to replace it by a brick church, in 1636. Its reconstruction took place after the fall of the Soviet Union, from 1990 to 1993.
