St. Basil's Cathedral
The Cathedral of the Protecting veil of the Mother of God, also known as Cathedral of St. Vasily the Blessed, or as it's usually called, St. Basil's Cathedral.
It doesn't look like a regular church, either inside or out.  On the outside,
the building appears to be made of terra cotta.  
Inside, you would be disappointed if you expected to find a large sanctuary.
Instead, there are about seven small chapels, each with its own icons.
