Today is the 450th Anniversary of the St. Basil’s Cathedral, which had its groundbreaking in 1555 and was officially completed on July 12, 1561. It is a Russian Orthodox church erected on the Red Square in Moscow. The building looks like no other building in Russia and has 9 domes and 2 spires. Their official web site is at saintbasil.ru.

To commemorate the St. Basil’s Cathedral, Google has a special Google logo for its 450 anniversary.

Here is a real picture of it from Wikipedia:

    It actually looks exactly like the cathedral of spilled blood in St. Petersburg, Russia… So much so that I thought it was labeled wrong.
