So, what is on Red square? Historical Museum, originates Nikolskaya street, GUM, St. Basil’s Cathedral, Spasskaya Tower, Lenin’s Mausoleum. There is also a memorial place and a monument to Minin and Pozharsky on Red square next to the St. Basil’s Cathedral.

Red square appeared in the late 15th century as a free space in front of the Kremlin gates and later became a shopping center for several centuries. Later, it becomes a venue for state events, meetings, and folk festivals. In front of The Spassky gate of the Kremlin is a Good place(the highest), which served as a tribune in ancient times., it read out the decrees of the tsars and boyars.
On the South side of the square is a fabulous, wonderful Pokrovsky Cathedral, its second name is the St. Basil’s Cathedral, it got its name from the name of the Moscow fool who is buried there. The temple was built in 1555-1561.The temple is now known all over the world and is the symbol of Moscow.

Next to GUM is Nikolskaya street. In the old days, along it were located shopping malls, and now it remains a pedestrian street with beautiful historical buildings, restaurants, cafes. During the FIFA 2018., it served as a fan zone for fans from all over the world. It is home to the largest Department store, which was built at the end of the 19th century.-GUM.

Hi @helga19

Thanks for sharing the information, photos, and video of the Red Square. Russia is surely a beautiful country to visit. I remember when FIFA World Cup was held in Russia on 2018, a lot of tourists and football lovers came to visit Russia. I’ve watched a traveller video when visiting Moscow. So great!

I admire the State Historical Museum in Red Square. In my opinion, when the snow comes, the museum will bring a “strong” Christmas vibes :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I would like to know whether most of the Russian could speak English well? :smile:

Me gusto mucho tu post, nos muestra aspectos desconocidos de la Plaza Roja @helga19 , gracias por compartiré, el primer video me recordó a un paseo que existe en Buenos Aires, llamado Alcorta Shopping, por sus ornamento y estética de fines del siglo XIX.

La voz de Daria en la canción “Volar lejos en las alas del viento” es de los angeles :angel:t2: , muy hermosa :clap: :clap: :+1:

Un saludo Fueguino Farid.
