La Cattedrale di San Basilio a Mosca, nota anche con il nome di Chiesa dell'intercessione di Maria o della Madre di Gesù sul Fossato o Cattedrale Pokrovsky, è stata voluta dallo zar Ivan IV. L'edificio sacro fu costruito al centro della famosa Piazza Rossa a Mosca, e fu noto originariamente come Chiesa della Trinità e successivamente come Cattedrale della Trinità. Essa servì a commemorare una vittoria militare dello zar suddetto, durante la guerra del kazan e precisamente alla conquista del Regno del Chan di Kazan. Il magnifico edificio fu costruito nel 1555 e fu completato nel 1561, anno in cui fu consacrato. Si tratta di otto chiese che si espandono attorno alla nona chiesa, che invece è situata al centro, a sua volta dedicata all'intercessione di Maria. La struttura prevede quindi ben 9 cappelle sormontate da cupole: la nona venne fatta costruire nel 1588 per ospitare le spoglie di San Basilio il Benedetto, mentre la più alta (quella centrale intitolata all'Intercessione) raggiunge un'altezza di 46 metri. L'intero edificio, che non ha paragoni, è un mirabile esempio di architettura russa del XVI secolo, caratterizzato dalle cupole a cipolla, dai vivacissimi colori entusiasmanti. Inoltre, rappresenta la dimora Celeste in terra e simboleggia un falò, le cui fiamme imponenti salgono verso il cielo. Tante storie sono nate sull'edificio particolarissimo che si erge con grande orgoglio di edilizia suprema al centro di Mosca, ma la leggenda più rinomata a tal proposito è quella che narra la crudele ambizione che caratterizzava la personalità forte dello zar Ivan IV, secondo la quale lo zar avrebbe fatto accecare i due architetti Barma e Postnik che si erano dedicati al geniale progetto dell'edificio, proprio per evitare che i due personaggi non avessero più modo di riprodurre tale bellezza architettonica in altri posti del mondo. Nel 1990 la cattedrale è stata inclusa nella lista del Patrimonio Mondiale dell'UNESCO.

Splendid execution of a sacred building that is truly unique. I also really like that flight that you stopped between the top and that also makes this picture more mystical. Congratulations.

Splendid, Dante, like all your photos and with a caption always very exhaustive.
Just a question: But how do you shoot at 1/8 freehand? I already at 1/60 risk the blur!

Dear Dante, I have to spend a lot of compliments for this your shot.
The subject certainly deserves all the attention but your recovery is really excellent.
Bravo, even for the usual, exhaustive caption.
