Dates in History
1561—Architects Barma and Postnikov finish the construction of St. Basil’s Cathedral in the Red Square in Moscow.
The Cathedral is constructed to commemorate the capture of Kazan by Russian troops. There is a legend that Ivan the Terrible ordered to blind the architects so they wouldn’t be able to create anything so magnificent as St. Basil’s Cathedral.
