Cathedral</A> is located on the Red Square in Moscow, Russia. A Russian Orthodox 
church, the Cathedral sports a series of colorful bulbous domes that taper to a 
point, aptly named onion domes, that are part of Moscow’s Kremlin skyline. 
<BR><BR>The cathedral was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible to commemorate the 
capture of the Khanate of Kazan. In 1588 Tsar Fedor Ivanovich had a chapel added 
on the eastern side above the grave of Basil Fool for Christ, a Russian Orthodox 
saint after whom the cathedral was popularly named. <BR></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left;
