The St. Basil's Cathedral is the architectural masterpiece
and the splendid example of columnlike marquee stone Russian
folk architecture. Its eight towers are placed on a high
ground floor and have very nice colourful, ridged onion-shaped
cupolas. They surround the ninth central octagonal tower
topped by a high piramidal tent roof with a small cupola.
The Cathedral is decorated by numerous folk architectural
elements: figured niches, "kokoshniki" ornaments, rusticated
columns, pilasters, windows and portals.
The museum is opened: 10.00 - 16.30, except Tuesdays.
