Commissioned by Ivan IV to commemorate his victories over the Mongol Khanates of Khazan and Astrakhan, it was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin but is called the Cathedral of St. Basil the Blessed. The church built between 1555 and 1560 by Postnick and Barma combines the stone Byzantine Dome style and the wooden Russian Tent shaped style. The stone structure is dominated by a high octogonal tower over a central chapel. The tower is surrounded by eight smaller towers over four large octogonal chapels on the main axes and four small polygonal ones between. They are enclosed by a. gallery built later. The towers and their onion shaped domes are heavily carved and though originally white-washed, have been polychromed since the 17th century creating an exotic splendor.
