St. Basil's Cathedral is an Orthodox church in Moscow's Red Square, and is one of the most popular cultural symbols of Russia. The building, now a museum, was built from 1555 to 1561 on orders from Ivan the Terrible. The cathedral has nine domes and is shaped like the flame of a bonfire rising into the sky. The cathedral foreshadowed the climax of Russian national architecture in the 17th century. The church has been part of the Kremlin and Red Square UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, weekly Orthodox Christian services with prayer to St. Basil have been restored since1997.
