St Basil's the Blessed, Moscow - Great Buildings of the World on Waymarking.com

Founded by Ivan the Terrible in 1554, the building is actually a collection of nine separate chapels. The interior is a stunning example of medieval painted walls, beautiful icons and fine woodwork.

St Basil's true name is the Cathedral of Intercesssion of the Virgin on the Moat, but I personally like it common name better.

The remarkable exterior is dominated by the onion domes with their individual designs and colours.
