This is the Cathedral of the Dormition in Moscow, its a Russian Orthodox church. The Cathedral is regarded as the mother church of Muscovite Russia. The present form was constructed between 1475-1479 at the behest of the Moscow Grand Duke Ivan III by the Italian architect Aristotele Fioravanti. From 1547 - 1896 it is where the Coronation of the Russian monarch was held.
