The city in architecture and monuments w
For its more than 8 century history the Kremlin was a wooden one, white stoned and got its famous image in the XV century thanks to the diligence of the architects from Italy. Tsar Ivan III described the plan of the fortress and constructions, which later formed the outer appearance of the old Kremlin: the Palace of the Facets, Assumption Cathedral, Annunciation Cathedral, Cathedral of the Archangel and approximately twenty sentry towers, which defend the city since that times. Until 1960s the Kremlin was residential, and only later was turned into a museum-reserve. It became a representation of the Dukes of Moscow only in XIII century and was opened to the public until Soviet times. Russian Emperors were not frequent visitors of the Kremlin, they preferred summer residences instead, that is why people could visit all Kremlin palaces. After the October revolution all the ministers were evicted from the Kremlin and the Ascension Convent and the Chudov Monastery were destroyed. The most popular inhabitants of the Kremlin in Soviet times were J. Stalin, L. Trotsky, A. Lunacharsky, F. Dzerzhinsky and many others.
