Patriarch's Palace, Religious residence in Moscow Kremlin, Russia.

The Patriarch's Palace spans 230 square meters with multicolored tiles and features a central hall where religious ceremonies and state gatherings occurred.

Built between 1653 and 1655 under Patriarch Nikon's direction, this residence served as the center of Russian Orthodox Church leadership until the early 1700s.

The Church of the Twelve Apostles within the palace complex produced holy oils and incense for all Russian Orthodox churches during the 17th century.

Visitors can access the palace through combined tickets for the Moscow Kremlin complex, with guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the day.

The Krestovsky Chamber's architectural design creates an optical effect where the ceiling appears to float without support from any columns.
