Neighborhood :
Red Square and the Kremlin

This is possibly the most famous central square in the world. It is a humbling sight both day and night; beautiful in winter when it is covered a pristine blanket of snow. Regally dramatic all the year round. Originally an expanse of nothing more than mud, and populated by a ragged collection of hawkers, beggars and outcasts, Red Square acquired its present size and stature gradually. The square and its surroundings exude the drama of Russian past and present. The walls of the Kremlin (Kreml') (The) loom on one side, their blood-red height belittling the pale GUM department store opposite. At the southern end of the square towers, is the onion-domed exuberance of St. Basil's Cathedral (Sobor Vasiliia Blazhennogo).
