The Grand Kremlin Palace, also translated Great Kremlin Palace, was built from 1837 to 1849 in Moscow, Russia on the site of the estate of the Grand Princes, which had been established in the 14th century on Borovitsky Hill. Designed by a team of architects under the management of Konstantin Thon, it was intended to emphasize the greatness of Russian autocracy. Konstantin Thon was also the architect of the Kremlin Armoury and the Church of Christ the Savior. The exterior of the Grand Kremlin Palace incorporates many details characteristic of medieval Russian and Byzantine architecture. The Grand Kremlin Palace was formerly the tsar's Moscow residence. Its construction involved the demolition of the previous Baroque palace on the site, designed by Rastrelli, and the Church of St. John the Baptist, constructed to a design by Aloisio the New in place of the first church ever built in Moscow. #capital #government #Hauptstadt #Kreml #Kremlin #Medvedev #Medwedew #Moscou #Moscow #Moskau #open_source #President #Russia #Russie #Russland #Кремль #Медведев #Москвы #Россия
