To get to Red Square, you need to go through the Resurrection Gate. A small chapel is attached to them. And the gate is named so because from the side of Red Square the icon "The Resurrection of Christ" is fortified on it.
Try to count with your child how many images of St. George the Victorious are located near the Kremlin. Ask why there are so many of them here? The fact is that St. George the Victorious is a symbol of Moscow, its coat of arms. It turns out that the name George is an old version of the name Yuri. Namely, Yuri was the name of the prince, who built the very first wooden fortress on the banks of the Moskva River. It turns out that Moscow was built by Georgy! And yet another Georgy - Zhukov - did a lot after several centuries to save not only Moscow, but the whole country from the Nazis. For this, a monument was erected to him not far from the Resurrection Gate.
There are 34 bells on the upper platform of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower. There is a wonderful view of Moscow from there.
And here is the Tsar Cannon, the largest in our country. She is almost five hundred years old! This bombard was made specifically to protect the Kremlin: it was supposed to bombard enemies with huge stone cannonballs. True, for five centuries she made only one shot ...
Opposite the Borovitskaya Tower, on Starovagankovsky Hill, stands one of the most beautiful Moscow houses. It is called the Pashkov House by the name of the first owner. What is he famous for? Firstly, it was built on a hill, and the owners could look down at the towers and cathedrals!

Interesting facts to tell your child on this route.
The temple has two names. Most often it is called the Cathedral of St. Basil the Blessed, because the temple was built over the grave of an unusual person - the holy fool Basil. The second name of the temple is the Cathedral of the Intercession on the Moat, or the Intercession Cathedral. Why "on the Moat"? Because at the very walls of the Kremlin there used to be a deep ditch. Why "Pokrova"? Because in 1552, on the feast day of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos, the troops of Ivan the Terrible took tatar city Kazan.
From the inside, St. Basil's Cathedral resembles a medieval castle with many rooms. The secret is that ten small churches are hidden here. Each of them bears the name of that saint or holiday on the day of which the most important battles for Kazan were fought.
Not far from the Cathedral of St. Basil the Blessed begins Varvarka Street. And where did the strange name come from - Varvarka? Maybe barbarians lived here? No. Take a closer look with your child to the plaque on the wall of the temple, which stands at the very beginning of the street.

In the middle of the 19th century, there was a church on this site, on the walls of which were inscribed thousands of names of officers who died in the war with Napoleon. It was a memorial temple, it looked almost the same as the one you see today.
House 12 (Prechistenka St., 12/2) is a museum of Alexander Pushkin. Previously, the noble family of the Seleznevs lived here, as is reminded by the coat of arms preserved on the facade. We definitely recommend you to visit the play rooms of Pushkin's Tales. There is a real island Buyan, and King Guidon, and other heroes of fairy tales.
Opposite the Gorky Park there is another park - "Muzeon". In addition to plants, there are ... statues in this park! Once they decorated the streets of Moscow, and then they ended up here. There are monuments to Soviet leaders, unusual street sculptures. Ask your child if he has ever seen a stone turtle? And the bronze hare? You can also meet such unusual animals in the Muzeon!

Not far from the Tretyakov Gallery, in the Second Kadashevsky Lane, there is the Church of the Resurrection of Christ - one of the most beautiful churches in Zamoskvoretsky.

The name of this place - Tsaritsyno - allows us to guess that once it belonged to the tsars. Or rather, to the Empress Catherine II. The history of Tsaritsyn is incredibly complex and confusing, and it will be easier to understand it if you visit this place.
The Tsar's Palace, built by Vasily Bazhenov, did not like Catherine at all. Among the reasons are the dissatisfaction with the layout, and the rebellious temper of the architect ... At the behest of the Empress, the palace was dismantled! It was rebuilt a few years ago.
The Kuskovo estate is sometimes called the pearl of Europe. Indeed, the magnificent palace of Count Sheremetev and the garden around it have been preserved almost unchanged. Everyone who appreciates the beauty of noble estates is a must-see in Kuskovo.
