The Great Kremlin Palace

The common name of the “Great Kremlin Palace” is used for a group of civil and ecclesiastical buildings of different times- from the facets Palace of the 15th century to grandiose 19th-century palace.

The idea of combining architectural monuments built over four centuries behind a façade of a new representational palace is quite an original one. Its structure is so complex and comprises so much valuable architecture that each piece must be dealt with separately.

Keeping to traditional styles of narration about historical values, it would be only logical to arrange them in chronological order and thus leave the Great Kremlin Palace, which was built in 1838-1849, to the end.
