St. Basil's Cathedral
📍 From Floating Bridge, Russia
St. Basil's Cathedral, officially known as the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos on the Moat, serves as an iconic symbol of Russia's architectural heritage. Built between 1555 and 1561 on orders from Ivan the Terrible, its vivid, onion-shaped domes create a stunning kaleidoscope of colors. Located at Red Square's southeastern corner, the cathedral is a prime spot for golden hour photography, as the sun casts warm tones onto its intricate façade. Note the juxtaposition of colors and shapes, which provide a dynamic composition, making it ideal for capturing from various angles. Be sure to explore the interior, where narrow, maze-like corridors house vivid frescoes and remarkable iconography, offering additional photo opportunities.
