St Vladimir's Church, Moscow

The pentacupolar structure of St Vladimir's Church features traditional Russian architecture with distinctive domes and a prominent belfry near the Yauza River.

Built in 1516 by architect Aloisio the New under Vasily I of Moscow, the church served as a palace chapel until the Romanov dynasty.

The church maintains regular Orthodox services, displaying religious artifacts and traditional Russian ecclesiastical design elements within its restored interior spaces.

Located at the intersection of the Yauza and Moskva rivers, the church opens daily for visitors and holds regular services for Orthodox worshippers.

The south porch remains as the only surviving element from the original 1514 structure, representing early 16th-century Moscow architectural traditions.
