Saint Basil's Cathedral One of the most astonishing buildings I have ever seen is Saint Basil’s Cathedral. When I was 10 years old, I read about it in my history textbook. Since that time, it was my dream to see it with my own eyes. I had a chance to visit it only after many years, when I was an adult, but it is view took my breath away and I was happy as a child. I think it is the most popular tourist attraction in Russia. It is very colorful and looks like a sugary cake. The walls are made of red brick. Each of ten domes are coloured and decorated in different way. Ivan the terrible, a Russian tzar, who ruled the county in the 16th century and ordered to build this stunning structure, wanted to be sure that it would remain unique. After the building was finished, he asked the architect whether he would be able to re-create it. The architect said that he would and the tzar ordered to blind him. Nowadays, this masterpiece still has no analogue. It combines different architectural styles. People argue about the root of its design. Most of them think that its elements look similar to Asian and Byzantine, while others suggest that they are taken from Europe. Anyway, from my point of view, the Catherdal is fascinating. When I look at it, I admire the talent of its creator and almost unlimited possibilities of a human mind.
