St. Basils Cathedral location:

Answer explanation

This garish, candy-coloured cathedral is, in fact, Moscow’s most visited tourist attraction. The Iconic Building, shaped to resemble the flame of a bonfire rising into the sky, is located just outside the Kremlin gates and marks the geometric centre of the city.

Built between 1554 and 1560, the cathedral was erected during the reign of Ivan IV (Ivan the Terrible). Little is known about the building’s architect Postnik Yakovlev, but he was clearly a fan of onion domes, sharp spikes and polygonal towers.
