Dormition Cathedral, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Moscow Kremlin, Russia
The Dormition Cathedral stands within the Moscow Kremlin walls, featuring five white domes and limestone walls built according to Russian architectural principles.
Constructed between 1475 and 1479 under Ivan III, the cathedral replaced an earlier structure from 1326 and served as the coronation site for Russian monarchs.
The cathedral contains numerous religious artifacts, including medieval frescoes and an extensive collection of Orthodox Christian icons depicting biblical scenes.
Visitors can access the cathedral daily from 10:00 to 18:00 except Thursdays, with entrance tickets available at 500 rubles for adults while children enter free.
