After Saint Basil's Cathedral was completed in the mid-16th century, a legend began to circulate about the eclectic Orthodox church located in the heart of Moscow. It was an architectural feat, the tallest structure in russia it was a show of Russia's might at the end of a century-long war. According to whispers, the Grand Prince of Moscow, infamously nicknamed Ivan the Terrible, had its architects blinded, so that they could never again design a structure so majestic. The origins of the structure remain mostly shrouded in mystery. Nearly five centuries on, the architects' identities cannot be confirmed, though it is generally believed that the design should be credited to two architects, named Barma and Postnik Yakovlev. Some historians say that the two names actually reference a single person and that "Barma" was actually Postnik Yakovlev's nickname. #architecture #design #architects #history #art #innovation #video #china #reference #photography #construction #project #blockchain #museums #russian #royalty #orthodoxy #churches # #fineart #innovationlabs #empirestatebuilding #kingdom #russianfederation #moscow #historicbuildings #historymakers #uaelife #uae2020 #abudhabievents #arabworld #arabianbusiness #palmjumeirah #sharjah
