There are a lot of churches in Russia, all over the corners, no one can tell how many churches there are, look around from a higher place, the most eye-catching thing is the spire of the church that faintly flashes in the jungle, the shape is different, strange, colorful, Moscow is the capital of Russia, Moscow has the reputation of "the city of a thousand tops".

Su Xiaoyu said: "There are a lot of churches in Russia, when the delegation first came, I have already taken you to visit St. Basil's Cathedral, and there are many churches that have not been to it, so we will visit them in turn, and we must go to these famous churches to see when we come to Russia, Russians still have religious beliefs." ”

"Let's go to the Cathedral of the Assumption first, I think it's time to introduce this historic church. ”

When everyone rushed to this cathedral, they were still deeply attracted.

Su Xiaoyu said: "The Cathedral of the Assumption was designed by the Italian architect Fieraventi and built between 1475 and 1479, and this church is closely connected to important historical moments in Russia. ”

"The Cathedral of the Assumption is located on the north side of Cathedral Square in the center of the Kremlin, next to the Church of the 12 Apostles, dedicated to Our Lady of the Ascension, once the cathedral of the state religion of Russia, known as the 'first church' of the Russian Empire, where successive tsars held their coronations. The Archbishops of Moscow, and later the Archbishop of the Russian Orthodox Church, were laid to rest in this church, and their graves were lined up along the walls. ”

Meng Wenjie asked: "Why did the Russians ask Italian architects to build this church?"

Su Xiaoyu replied: "The main reason is that the Russians at that time had poor construction technology, and the original old church only survived for 150 years and was unusable. For this purpose, the Grand Duke of Moscow, the great Ivan III, specially invited Italian architects to build the church. ”

"This is a typical Russian Orthodox church, which is very different from the Roman Catholic Church in terms of architectural layout. Roman Catholic churches usually have only one dome, but the Russian Orthodox Church has five. ”

Qu Lihua raised her head, the oblong arch of this church has five golden domes on it, the central dome is particularly huge, and the other four domes are tightly surrounded, the Catholic church is a rectangular structure of the Latin cross, the Russian Orthodox church is a square structure of the Greek cross, the Catholic church usually has a nave and an apse, plus two wings, and an aisle on each side.

The church is considered a masterpiece of architecture by the Western architectural community, with a large use of high-strength white marble, but on the upper floors, special bricks are used that are much larger than the Russian specifications, and the use of round arches is increased, which effectively reduces the load. With the exception of the 4 Corinthian columns used in the center of the church, the rest of the pilasters are tall but extremely lightweight, which makes the interior of the church bright and spacious.

Su Xiaoyu took everyone to visit the All-Russian Exhibition Center, which is the earliest and largest exhibition center in Moscow and Russia, covering an area of 207 hectares, with more than 250 buildings of various types, as well as parks, fountains and ponds. Before World War II it was an all-Soviet agricultural exhibition hall. On May 28, 1958, the exhibitions of agriculture, industry and science and technology were integrated into one and renamed the National Economic Achievement Exhibition Hall. On June 23, 1992 it was renamed the All-Russian Exhibition Centre, and since the 90s of the last century, it has gradually become a modern logistics center.

The All-Russian Exhibition Centre covers an area of 300 hectares with a total of 80 exhibition halls. It integrates science, knowledge and entertainment, and is a good place to open your eyes and grow knowledge. Representing the republics and special exhibition halls, such as culture and art, science and technology, etc. The cultural pavilion, the pure white building with tall water jets, clean and exotic, there are two large fountains in the whole building, and the main exhibition hall is 15 small golden fountains wearing national costumes, representing the 15 union republics.

The main entrance of the exhibition hall is tall and magnificent, leaving a deep impression on everyone, and at the top is the male and female members holding the ears of wheat harvest, which looks very majestic, and the visitors who come here to pay their respects will be deeply shocked, and it is a masterpiece in the history of world sculpture.

Xia Yuxiang said: "The architecture of Russia is really distinctive, it will be unforgettable, each famous scenic spot is a different scenery, the buildings have their own characteristics, but they are not repeated, you can see that they are all carefully designed." ”

Su Xiaoyu took everyone to visit the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, opposite the cathedral is the statue of Peter the Great, a boat that has been lifted high, and the Emperor is holding the drawings and standing on the bow of the boat. There are things like sails, ropes, and the like next to and underneath.

"The location of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior has long been regarded as sacred by the locals, and the history of the church's construction is as fascinating as the building itself. At the beginning of the 19th century, in honor of those who died in the battle against Napoleon, the tsar ordered the construction of a most majestic church. ”

Nowadays, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior has become a famous tourist attraction in Moscow, and the height of the church is still 103 meters, and it is completely modeled after the previous cathedral, trying to reproduce the appearance of the cathedral at that time. The church can accommodate about 10,000 people, and it is solemn and elegant.
