About Kremlin.
The Ivan the Great Bell-Tower complex had been formed for two centuries. The Bell-Tower was erected in 1505-1508 by Italian architect Bon Friazin. A century later another one arcade for bells was added to the Bell-Tower so that its total height achieved 81 m. The memorial inscription under the dome includes this information, the year of 1600 and the names of Tsar Boris Godunov and his son Fyodor.

In 1532-1552, a new church was built near the Bell-Tower on the project of Italian architect Petrok Maliy. In late XVII century it was dismantled and transformed into a belfry named Uspenskaya (Assumption). In 1624, Bazhen Ogurtsov (Cucumber) added to the Uspenskaya another one belfry with a marquee-top - the Filaret?s Annex.

In 1812, while retreating from Moscow, the Napoleon?s Army blew up the Ivan the Great Bell-Tower ensemble. However, the pillar of the bell-tower survived. The Belfry and the Filaret?s Annex were completely destroyed and restored in original dimensions in 1814-1815. At present, 24 bells of XVI-XVII centuries are located on the bell-tower and belfry.

The ground floor of the Assumption Belfry houses an exhibition hall of Moscow Kremlin Museums. Artworks both from the Kremlin?s collections and those of other Russian and foreign museums are exhibited in the hall.

Dear Ken, I do not have any objections. Thank you very much for yours attention and high estimation of my work.
* * *
Note, pls, that you wrote my name as Sergi. In English it should be Serge, as far as I know. In Russian we say sergei (or sergey). But, I guess, it'd be better to leave "Serge".

Warm regards,
Serge

Dave, our known poet Vladimir Vysotsky has written, that in Russia domes cover with gold that the God noticed them better...
So, typically, roofs of our temples are covered with thin film of gold.
Regards,
Serge

Another very nice architectural shot, Serge! There seems to be a lot of the gold domes in the buildings in your area. They look great against the blue sky on top of the white buildings.
