The Kremlin and Red Square
The Kremlin which dates to 1156 but occupies a site used for far longer, was the center of the Russian. With nearly a dozen palaces and churches, the Kremlin is a symbol of eight centuries of Russia’s history and culture, not to mention its power. Over the years the Kremlin is a command center, and today a home for the Russian president.
Red Square is a city square (plaza) in Moscow. It is often considered the central square of Moscow since Moscow's major streets, which connect to Russia's major highways, originate from the square.
