Religious sites in Moscow
Moscow's Sacred Sites
Moscow’s religious landscape encompasses centuries of architectural evolution, from the 16th-century tent-roofed Church of the Ascension in Kolomenskoye to the neo-Gothic Catholic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. The selection includes the Kremlin’s historic cathedrals, the primary seat of the Russian Patriarch at Danilov Monastery, and the Naryshkin Baroque style of the Church of the Intercession at Fili.
