Moscow, Part Three - Kremlin



It was also an incredible opportunity to go inside the Kremlin!  From Red Square you see a giant red wall.  This red wall is like a fortress wall that I'm guessing is at least a mile long.
From behind the wall there are buildings peeking over it.
The clock tower can be viewed from inside or outside the Kremlin.

I knew that the Kremlin was the government seat, and where Putin lives.  I did not know that there are lots of other buildings inside as well!


The Armory
Not sure the name of this one, but it is political offices.  The only modern building we saw inside the Kremlin.


The Senate
This is the cathedral where the tzars were all crowed.  It also holds the tzar's throne.

The Palace
The cathedral where tzars and royalty are buried.  Ivan the Terrible,  the Romanoff's,  WOW! 

The Bell Tower
