Moscow offers photographers a wide range of subjects covering centuries of Russian history and architecture. The city combines Orthodox cathedrals with colorful domes, classical theaters and museums, large parks, and modern art galleries. From the medieval fortress walls of the Kremlin to the monumental buildings of the Stalin era, Moscow presents itself as a city of contrasts. Landmarks include Saint Basil's Cathedral on Red Square, the Bolshoi Theatre, and the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. Parks such as Gorky Park and Zaryadye Park with its floating bridge provide green spaces in the heart of the city. Historical estates like Kolomenskoye and Kuskovo preserve the architecture of past eras. Museums such as the Tretyakov Gallery, the Pushkin Museum, and the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art display works from different periods. The Stalin skyscrapers continue to shape the skyline, while places like Patriarch Ponds, Arbat Street, and Sparrow Hills offer glimpses into Moscow life.
