You are here: Home / Europe / Russia / Mission: Moscow Kremlin Mission: Moscow Kremlin By Jennifer Dombrowski 25 Comments Moscow Kremlin at Night Moscow Kremlin overlooking the Moscow River at night Remember the scene from Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol when Tom Cruise tries to infiltrate the secret Moscow Kremlin archives, but it blows up? We see the red outer walls as Tom Cruise outruns the explosion. We really only see a small part and filming of the scenes was actually done at Prague Castle. In reality, the Moscow Kremlin is like a self-contained city with a multitude of palaces, armories, churches, government buildings, and remnants of the past. We weren’t prepared for the sheer size of the medieval fortress and all it contains! Senate Building Moscow Kremlin The Senate Building is the residence of Russian president Vladimir Putin Just entering the Moscow Kremlin felt like we were in our own version of Mission: Impossible. The International Military Music Festival Spasskaya Tower was taking place while we were there and many of the entrances to the gardens leading to the entrance of the Kremlin were closed to the public. Not only that, the Senate Building enclosed inside the walls of the Kremlin is the residence of Russian president Vladimir Putin. Naturally, there are security checkpoints to go through in order to enter the Kremlin. No matter; a visit to Russia’s most famous Kremlin should be on every visitor to Moscow’s must-see list. It’s a lot to take in, so we’ve highlighted the main sights of the Moscow Kremlin. Troitskaya Tower Moscow Kremlin Troitskaya Tower The Kremlin has 19 towers in all, though the Troitskaya Tower is the tallest of all the towers at 80 meters. This gate was used by people on their way to the courts of the Patriarch, the Tsaritsa and the princesses. The top of the tower is decorated with weather vanes and lancet arches.

The Kremlin is Russia's mythic refuge, a self contained city with a multitude of palaces, armories, and churches, a medieval fortress that links the modern nation to its legendary past in the ancient state of Kievan Rus'. As the dominance of Kiev faded and its empire fragmented under the weight of foreign invasion and internecine strife in the 11th and 12th centuries, regional princes gained power.
