CATHEDRAL OF THE ASSUMPTION

Visit the magnificent Cathedral of Chur, located at the episcopal court above the old town. Marvel at one of Switzerland's most important cultural monuments and among the greatest Chur attractions. You will learn that this 800-year-old cathedral, dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, was built between 1154 and 1270. You will also see influences from major Occidental cultures here. Admire the Gothic high altar in golden splendour, the large medieval arched window, and the intricately carved choir. Witness the main portal featuring slender columns with early Gothic floral capitals, and Romanesque sculptures adorning the bases and capitals inside. 

The Cathedral of the Assumption, located in Moscow's Kremlin, is a stunning example of Russian architecture. Built between 1475 and 1479 by Italian architects, it served as the main cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church. The cathedral is renowned for its golden domes, frescoes by the famous artist Andrei Rublev, and its historical significance as the site of numerous royal ceremonies. Its grand interior and richly decorated iconostasis reflect the splendor of medieval Russia.
