Since Ivan the Great destroyed the wooden houses that were located in this area to improve the protection of the Kremlin, the square has been used for various purposes: as a shooting field, as a market square, to hold public ceremonies and even concerts in the last years.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Around the Red Square<\/strong> you will find the <strong>GUM <\/strong>(a large department store created in Soviet times in which the world&#39;s leading brands are still sold, as well as restaurants and cinemas), <strong>St. Basil&#39;s Cathedral<\/strong> (an orthodox temple known almost everywhere as the emblem of the city), the <strong>State Museum of History<\/strong> (where important pieces of the history of the country are exposed from the prehistory to the XXth century), the <strong>Mausoleum of Lenin<\/strong> (where its mummified body and the tombs of Russian military and presidents are) and the <strong>Kremlin <\/strong>(composed of several buildings, cathedrals and other spaces where the government building stands out).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Some of the beautiful undergound stations in Moscow\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/eurochange.es\/uploads\/blog\/2017\/Moscu-Rusia-Moscow-Russia\/Metro-Moscu-Moscow.jpg\" width=\"350\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Moscow Metro<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Moscow Metro is not just a quick way to get around the city, <strong>it is another tourist attraction<\/strong>.

And if you are one of those persons who get lost in the subway, don&#39;t worry, there are guided tours that will make it very easy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Main entrance of Gorky Park in Moscow\" height=\"197\" src=\"https:\/\/eurochange.es\/uploads\/blog\/2017\/Moscu-Rusia-Moscow-Russia\/parque-Gorki-Gorky-park.jpg\" width=\"350\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Gorky Park<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This park is located on the banks of the Moldova River.
