The unique architectural ensemble of the Moscow Kremlin is recognized all over the world due to its highest status and original appearance. Massive red walls with forked teeth and variegated towers, high and low, slender and stocky, but all beautiful in their own way, made the Kremlin look so memorable.
Moscow was not built in a day
In the old days, the Kremlin was called the city, protected by a fortress wall and towers with equipped loopholes. This name comes from the word "Kremlin" - coniferous forest with strong, large trees suitable for construction. The first wooden Kremlin was built from such trees. There was a wooden Kremlin in Moscow, but in 1365 it burned to the ground, and henceforth it was decided to build protective structures only out of stone.
Two years later, a Kremlin of white stone grew on the site of the ashes, which is why Moscow was called white-stone. However, he also could not stand the test of time and war. At the end of the 15th - the beginning of the 16th century, at the same place between the Moskva River and the Neglinnaya River, the third Kremlin grew out of red brick.
