Saint Basil's Cathedral The Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed (Russian: Собор Василия Блаженного , "Sobor Vasiliya Blazhennogo"), commonly known as Saint Basil's Cathedral, is a church in the Red Square in Moscow, Russia. The building, now a museum, is officially known as the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos on the Moat (Russian: Собор Покрова Пресвятой Богородицы, что на Рву , "Sobor Pokrova Presvyatoy Bogoroditsy, chto na Rvu") or Pokrovsky Cathedral (Russian: Покровский собор ). It was built from 1555–61 on orders from Ivan the Terrible and commemorates the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan. A world-famous landmark, it was the city's tallest building until the completion of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in 1600.
Lubyanka Square Lubyanskaya Square (Russian: Лубянская площадь , Lubyanskaya ploshchad'), or simply Lubyanka in Moscow lies about 900 m north-east of Red Square. History first records its name in 1480, when Grand Prince Ivan III of Moscow, who had conquered Novgorod in 1471, settled many Novgorodians in the area. They built the church of St Sophia, modelled after St Sophia Cathedral in Novgorod, and called the area "Lubyanka" after the Lubyanitsy district of their native city.
