17 Cathedral of the Annunciation within Kremlin in Moscow, Russia

Cathedral of the Annunciation replaced a late-14th century church at Cathedral Square. This dazzling religious structure clad with white limestone was finished in 1489 during the reign of Ivan III, the Grand Prince of Moscow from 1462 to 1505. After Blagoveschensky Sabor was expanded by Ivan the Terrible – Tsar of All Russias from 1547 to 1584 – the edifice had nine gilded domes. This was the church for grand dukes and tsars for centuries. The former Russian Orthodox cathedral is now a museum displaying an incredible collection of sacred artwork and iconostases.
