Red square is the main square of the Russian capital . It is popular not only among visitors to the city, but also loved by muscovites themselves. It is located in the center of Moscow, on the left Bank of the river, near the walls of the Moscow Kremlin. Those who came to Red square can see with their own eyes the main symbols of the Russian state, which everyone remembers from the pages of school textbooks. Car traffic has been banned here since the mid-1960s. The spacious space is paved with stone paving stones and is a pedestrian zone.
The reason why there was a large area near the Kremlin, was a strong fire. This happened during the reign of John III.
The buildings and temples surrounding the square were built and remodeled for several centuries, until a rare architectural ensemble was formed. Since 1990, the ancient square and the buildings around it are protected by UNESCO as one of the world heritage sites.
