Cathedral of the Dormition, Moscow Kremlin

The Cathedral of the Dormition, sometimes translated to "Cathedral of the Assumption," is one of the most majestic pieces of architecture in the Kremlin's Cathedral Square. Construction began in the latter 15th century, and since that time, the Cathedral of the Dormition has stood as the most important church in Russia.

The Dormition Cathedral has seen the coronation of Tsars and has been the seat of the Moscow Metropolitan. Today, visitors can enter to view icons, frescoes, and chandeliers.
