Medieval attractions in Moscow

In Medieval Moscow almost everything was built of wood. Only churches, monasteries, castles and homes of rich nobles were made of stone. Thus, after several fires in the Middle Ages very few buildings remained in Moscow of the Middle Ages. But even today there are few places in Moscow where you can visit Moscow medieval sights. The main Moscow attraction is, of course, the Kremlin.It is one of the largest castles in the world which is in good condition. The Kremlin has been decorated by an Italian architect in the 15 century, so do not forget architecture Kremlin walls and towers of the fortress are Italian. 
Right opposite the Kremlin there is the Red Square. Red Square is a collection of sites of different ages, but the most famous sight is St. Basil's Cathedral of the mid 15 th century. St. Basil's Cathedral is not only one the most famous Moscow attractions, but of all Russia. It is a masterpiece of architecture with a very interesting history and very beautiful and unique buildings. 
Close to the Red Square there is one of the oldest streets of Moscow - Varvarka.Here you can see the medieval court of the Romanovs family as the first British embassy in Russia and several churches. 
But the best places of medieval architecture, which still preserved, are Moscow monasteries. A monastery played the role of the fortress. The most famous monastery in Moscow is Novodevichy Convent. But besides it, there are many similar objects. 
Other medieval Moscow attraction is Kolomenskoye estate - the former residence of the first Romanov tsar. Today there is a big park with old buildings and trees which are three hundred years old.

Classical attractions in Moscow (18-19 century)

 
Since 1712 till 1918 St. Petersburg was the capital of Russian Empire. At that time Moscow was more than a provincial town, but the second most important city in the Russian Empire. That is why today you can see the most classical architecture in St. Petersburg. And  in the center of Moscow a lot of classical architecture has been preserved, although today buildings of different styles are often mixed. 
The best-known classical Moscow attractions are palaces and museums of the Kremlin, the Bolshoi Theater, Tsaritsyno, Kuskovo, Archangelskoe estates and many others.

There is a Museum of Maksim Gorky, the world's most important buildings of Modern. In general about 50% of Moscow streets are of Modern style.For example Povarskaja Street. We may offer our tourists Moscow Modern Tour.

Stalin-era sights in Moscow

 
Even before Stalin got a power, Moscow became the capital again and it changed rapidly. Many buildings, especially churches, were demolished. But Stalin era began in Moscow a new architectural era. 
Like Hitler in Germany, Stalin in Soviet Union banned constructivism architecture and started a new style to his taste. So we call this rebirth of classical architecture simply like Stalin`s style. 
Stalin`s style is a very special thing. This architecture was not in the resistance with the classical structures, it was mostly just a different kind of classicism with the same Greco-Roman roots. So that is an architecture like People`s. Moscow Metro, the 7 sisters - Stalin's skyscrapers, these are sights that are world famous. Today you can see many buildings of Stalin's time from the inside, such as MGU - Moscow State University; Moscow Metro tour is one of the most popular tours in Moscow. But this is only a small part of the Stalin`s architecture in Moscow. 

Modern attractions in Moscow

 
Stalin`s architecture was unfortunately the last style that has pleased people. Many buildings of the 60s - 70s have already been demolished because they were too ugly. 
A new era has begun with the Mayor Luzhkov, who has been ruled for 18 years in Moscow.The architecture in Moscow was often guided by his taste. The opinion of this architecture is controversial and often negative, although one can say that the Moscovites have become very choosy. 
Among the new attractions that are funny there are the new Christ the Savior Cathedral, Tsaritsyno estate, Kolomenskoe Tsar's Palace, Izmailovo Kremlin.
The largest construction project of nowadays is Moscow-City - the largest project in Europe. There are also many interesting buildings in Moscow, you can also visit.
