But for me the Eighth Wonder of the World is the Vassily Blazhenny Cathedral or Pokrovsky Cathedral. It disposes on Red Square in Moscow. It was built by the architects Barma and Postnik in It was built in honour of the victory of the Russians over the Kazan khanate. The Cathedral is often taken as a symbol of Moscow. It is monument of Moscow architecture. Thousands of tourists come to the Cathedral every day. I very want to be there.
