After visiting Red Square, this Messiah Cathedral is also quite large, the building area is large, you can see a lot of unique things here, the interior of the church can also visit some interesting settings, also the cultural heavy area.

The architecture of the cathedral was so grand and magnificent! Unfortunately, you can't take pictutes inside but I think it's a place you won't easily forget.

Something good that visit Moscow is that you can find some of the most important monuments nearby each other

Of all the churches in Moscow (and maybe Russia), none are as impressive and opulent and grandiose as Cathedral of Christ the Saviour where you will find Sorokin's miraculous icon saved from the original cathedral, Christ Not Painted by Hand.

The Cathedral of Christ the Savior is the tallest Orthodox Christian Church in the World.Overwhelming and impressive. A lot of tourists don’t know it but actually under the church there is a museum worth the visit. Surrounded by bridges and parks and opposite the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, it is definitely this church is a must see.

An attraction that must see if you come to Moscow, but don't finish the day with it, it is close to a lot of very interesting places. Just ask me
