The Moscow Kremlin
The Moscow Kremlin is a symbol of Russia, one of the greatest architectural complexes in the world.
In fact, the Kremlin is a medieval city-fortress with numerous palaces, churches and armouries. The 90 ac (36.4 ha) ensemble of the Kremlin has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Its architectural history may be divided into the three periods: the wooden Kremlin (dated back to the 13th cent.), the Italian Renaissance Kremlin, and the modern Kremlin.
How to get to The Kremlin
The best way to get there is by the metro. The nearest metro station is Okhotny Ryad/Охотный ряд (red line, 2).
