Architecture in Moscow

Moscow has been building its own legend for centuries. Walk the city and you'll find layers of tsarist grandeur, Soviet ambition, and contemporary confidence stacked on top of each other. Cathedral Square inside the Kremlin compresses five centuries of ecclesiastical architecture into a single courtyard, while Pashkov House holds its neoclassical pose high above the Moskva River. The Ostankino TV Tower strikes an entirely different note — steel and modernist conviction in equal measure. Somewhere between these extremes lies a city that lets its buildings argue with each other, and rewards anyone patient enough to listen.
