The Kremlin
Divine Glory and Splendour of the Czars
The heart of Russia beats in the Kremlin. This modest Moscow fortress
from the 12th century has in its varied history not only developed
into a magnificent architectural ensemble but has also become a synonym
for the Russian state, for orthodox faith and Russian culture. More
than 300 highly-prized objects - icon and portrait painting, books,
historical maps, liturgical instruments, jewelry and textiles, armor
and weapons, as well as valuable gifts presented to the Czars by foreign
representatives - will illustrate the historical milestones of this
unprecedented ascent.
The Kremlin’s important building-phases from the early Middle
Ages to the 19th century may be virtually experienced by means of
a computer-aided-design (CAD) construction (Press
Photos online): The visitor may accompany a foreign representative
on his ceremonial way to an audience with the Czar or may follow a
coronation procession through the palaces and churches of the Kremlin.
