The Spasskaya Tower is the main part of the historical heritage. For tourists, the entrance to it is closed. The clock-chimes established on it indicate the exact time at which the entire country lives.

Opposite the Red Square is GUM , the oldest Moscow department store.

Bolshoi Theater

The Bolshoi Theater is undoubtedly a symbolic symbol of the rich spiritual culture of all Russia. It is located this monument in the heart of the city, on the Theater Square.

An interesting and very dramatic story of the State Academic Bolshoi Theater.

The date of its inception is December 30, 1780.The initiator of the construction was Prince Peter Urusov. In 1805, as a result of the fire, there was no trace left of the building.
11 years later, Dmitry Golitsyn decided to restore the theater. Thanks to the efforts of the architects Mikhailov and Beauvais, on January 6, 1825, a new revival of the Bolshoi Theater occurred.
In 1853, another fire occurred, which caused great damage to the building.
On the eve of the coronation of Alexander II, the reconstruction was carried out in the shortest possible time. With the investment of huge funds from the treasury of the state. Which were justified by the grandeur of the reconstruction done. Three years after the start, it was opened and received the name of the Imperial.
After the October Revolution, the new authorities threatened to close the theater. But by a miracle, it was possible to preserve it, thanks to a formal recognition of the culture in 1922.
During the war, the building was destroyed by a bomb. In 1943 the building was restored.

Large pillars 15 meters high frame the central entrance, directed to the Theater Square.

The chic and luxurious interior of this repository of art admires its splendor.
The largest and longest restoration work carried out from 2005 to 2011 was restored and updated the original appearance of the premises.
The basis of the interior decoration is red and gold colors. The theater was decorated with gold, which was used for about four thousand grams.
The floors of the building are covered with mosaic and tiles, and the top is painted with stucco and painting.

A huge, six-meter chandelier, decorates the auditorium. Its weight is about two tons. On the whole height and diameter there are thousands of sparkling crystal flowers.
