Picture competition for children 2007

Dear friend!

Five hundred years ago in 1508 the Archangel’s Cathedral and Ivan the Great Bell-Tower were erected in the Cathedral Square of the Moscow Kremlin. From now on the architectural view of the main square of the Russian state was established. Through the centuries the Kremlin preserved the status of cultural and political centre of our country. Visiting the Moscow Kremlin Museums you can learn more about history of the Russian culture and artistic heritage.
