One of the two extant churches in Moscow which are dedicated to the first Apostolic Father of the Church - Saint Clement of Rome - is the attractive St Clement's Church. This Orthodox church is constructed in the unique Naryshkin Baroque architectural style which was very much prevalent in Moscow during the 17th and 18th Centuries. The interiors of the house of prayer are equally magnificent, with its ornate iconostasis and the intricately carved railings dating back to 18th Century. With its five sightly domes, this edifice stands out in the breezy landscapes of Zamoskvorechye District.
Tagansky Protected Command Point was formerly a secret underground military complex, Aviation Command Post and bunker. Situated in the very heart of the capital city of Moscow, this place is now adapted as a museum and entertainment complex stretching over an area of 0.7 hectares (1.73 acres). Play Lazer tag, visit the museum and enjoy a scrumptious meal at the Bunker-42 restaurant. The venue is also available for hire for private events like meetings, weddings and parties.
Deemed to be one of the highest points in Moscow, the lofty Poklonnaya Hill is solemn and strategic in equal amounts. Located in a wide open space near Park Pobedy, the hill is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city, thanks to its generous offering of attractions. Having been a stronghold during many invasions and revolutions in Russia, the hill, with a height of 171.5 meters (562.66 feet), was at a major advantage due to its commanding position, and has been the site of many significant military parades and celebrations. Out of the two prominent spaces on the hill, one is the poignant Victoria Park, which shelters several relics of the Second World War, and monuments like an Orthodox church and the moving Holocaust Memorial Synagogue. Here, a soaring obelisk forms the most notable landmark, annexed by a statue of Goddess Nike and a stunning stone monument depicting the Moscow coat of arms located at its base. Another coveted point on the hill is the elegant Museum of the Great Patriotic War, which, as the name suggests, serves as a homage to Soviet victory in the said war, with its repository of documents, artifacts, ammunition and vehicles.
The Spasskaya Toweris also sometimes known as the Savior Tower due to its association with the icon figure of the same name. Constructed in 1491 by the Italian architect Pietro Antonio Solari, it features an ornate hipped roof and a large clockface denoting the official Moscow time. Located in the eastern section of the Moscow Kremlin Wall, it was the former main entrance to the Kremlin and today is only opened to allow the entrance of presidential motorcades, victory parades and other important events. The top of the tower gates is inscribed with a statement in dedication to Prince Ivan III of Russia and a restored wall painted icon of Smolensk Savior, the saint. A red star was put up on top of the tallest spire of the tower in 1935 by the Soviet government, which together brings the height of the structure up to 71 meters (233 feet).
The Krylatskoye Rowing Canal is a large water body located on the outskirts of the city of Moscow and is a major venue for canoeing and rowing tournaments. Nestled within the Krylatskoye Sports Complex, it has hosted a series of significant events ever since its inception in 1973. It also contains seating stands with a capacity of 3800 spectators, a press center, a communication center, a large sports center with numerous facilities and state-of-the-art equipment, and a car parking lot.
The only Anglican church of Moscow, St Andrews is tucked away in a narrow lane and is the only church featuring Victorian Gothic architecture in the city. The red brick building was constructed in 1884 and has been used as an army post, a girl's hostel, a diplomatic residence and a music recording studio until the late 20th century when it was granted back to the Anglican community by the Russian government. The church has a diverse congregation of people from countries all around the world and organizes many concerts and events for its members to socialize with each other. Services are conducted in English on all days of the week except Thursdays and Saturdays and with song performances by the church's musical choir.
