Travel Guide to Red Square in Moscow, Russia

Scenic spot introduction:

Red Square is a famous square in the center of Moscow, the capital of Russia. The square covers an area of 91,000 square meters. The ground is paved entirely with stone slabs, which makes it look ancient and sacred. It is not only the central place for various large-scale celebrations and parades in Russia, but also one of the famous squares in the world.

Attractions distribution:

The original name of Red Square was Torge, which means market. At the end of the 15th century, it was the "out-of-city commercial district" developed by Ivan III in the east of the city. In 1517, a major fire broke out in the square, and the place became an empty ruin and was called the "Fire Square". In 1662, it was renamed "Red Square", which means "beautiful square".
The Red Square is adjacent to the Kremlin in the southwest, with the National Historical Museum in front, a department store in the east, and the Cathedral of Vasily Brazen in the south. Lenin's Mausoleum is located in the middle of the side facing the palace wall.
