The Red Square



Its history goes back to the 15th century when it was known as the marketplace. In the 16th century it became a place for ceremonial. Here the imperial ukases (decrees) were proclaimed. The present name of the square dates from the 17th century, though in those days "krasnaya" meant "beautiful" and not "red".

Today Red Square, encompassing an area of more than 70.000 square metres, is definitely one of the world’s most beautiful sites. The square is bounded by the Kremlin walls, the Lenin Mausoleum, the Historical Museum, the GUM department store and St. Basil’s Cathedral
