The Assumption Cathedral was erected in 1475-1479 by Italian architect Aristotle Fioravanti on the place where two older churches once stood. All the stages of the main state cathedral’s construction were described in chronicles in details. The Italian architect was suggested to create after the model of the Assumption Cathedral of Vladimir, the 5 domed cross-and-cupola church of the XII century. Working on the cathedral, Aristotle Fioravanti managed both to repeat the main points of the well-known cathedral and to combine them with the Renaissance’s idea of architectural space. The Assumption Cathedral of Moscow is a tremendous 6 pillared building with 5 apses and 5 domes. It is built of well trimmed white-stone blocks. The masonry inside is filled with rubble. Fornications, drums, pillars and the altar wall are made of bricks.
