On the western side of Cathedral Square stands

in 1397, but by 1480s this building had been dilapidated.

Ivan III, having completed the Cathedral of the Assumption, commissioned a group of stonemasons from Pskov -

some of the finest craftsmen in Russia - to reconstruct the church.

The church was founded by Grand Prince Vasily (son of Dmitry Donskoy)

the nine-domed Cathedral of the Annunciation.

Two further false domes were added to the western

part of the original roof to bring the grand total to nine, and the gallery was enclosed.

The evolution of the Annunciation Cathedral

was more complex than that of other Kremlin churches.

The fire of 1547 seriously damaged the building and during the reconstruction of 1562 – 64 Ivan IV (who preferred elaborate churches) ordered

four single-domed chapels to be added, one to each corner.

Most remarkably, the domes, roof and the top

of the apses were covered with gold sheet, thus earning the Cathedral the name “gold topped.”

The gold apparently came

so he had an additional staircase, porch and chapel built on the south-eastern side.

Ivan IV married for the fourth time in 1572. Under Orthodox law he was denied access to the Cathedral by the main entrance, and

from Novgorod, which was fully subjugated during Ivan’s reign.

The floor of the Cathedral is a warm-toned

reddish-brown jasper said to have been a gift from the Shah of Persia and originally used in Rostov Cathedral.

The Tsar entered the building by

the porch known as “Grosnenskiy” (lit. Terrible’s) and remained behind a grille during the service.

The rectangular Granovitaya Palace is just between the Cathedral of the Annunciation and the Cathedral of the Assumption. It was

as Faceted Palace, comes from the rusticated stone facing of the eastern side.

Together with the glowing murals and superb

silver-gilt framed iconostasis it creates an impression of extraordinary luxury and richness in this most Russian of Cathedrals.

The name which might be translated

designed along Italian lines.

Osip Startsev added the present
