Sobornaya Ploshad is called Cathedral Square because of the three cathedrals encircling the historic Kremlin plaza. Also at this intersection are two churches, a palace and the Ivan the Great Bell Tower (1543) in the center of this photo. On the left is Cathedral of the Annunciation (1489). On the right is the Cathedral of the Archangel (1508). Since the 15th century, this square has witnessed countless coronations and funerals of Russian leaders.
