The Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed, commonly known as Saint Basil's Cathedral, is a Christian church in Red Square in Moscow, Russia and is regarded as a symbol of the country. The building, now a museum, is officially known as the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos on the Moat. It was built from 1555 to 1561 on orders from Ivan the Terrible and commemorates the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan. It was the city's tallest building until the completion of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in 1600. The original building, known as Trinity Church and later Trinity Cathedral, contained eight churches arranged around a ninth, central church of Intercession; a tenth church was erected in 1588 over the grave of venerated local saint Vasily (Basil). The building is shaped like the flame of a bonfire rising into the sky, a design that has no parallel in Russian architecture.

This shrine dedicated to Saint Catherine of Siena, "Doctor of the Church", was inaugurated in 1985 and continues to enjoy a particular popular devotion. The initiative for this chapel was taken by Jean Wintgens, who was fascinated by the saint's personality. The building deviates from the traditional design of a closed building but is open to the outside, inspired by the campo of Siena. It is a polygonal building with a crypt, an inward sloping roof with an open atrium in the middle and a small fountain dedicated to the saint in the centre. A relic of the saint was donated by the archbishop of Siena.

The hillfort on the hill of St. Clement was known in prehistoric times. Archaeological excavations have shown a settlement lasting from the 9th century to the end of the 15th century.

According to later tradition, they even built a church here, where the relics of St. Clement were kept.

It is named after St. Finbarr, the patron saint of the city. The present cathedral is at least the third on this site: a medieval cathedral existed but was damaged during the Siege of Cork in 1689-1690, and a small neoclassical cathedral was built on the site by Bishop Peter Browne in 1735. It was demolished in 1865 to make way for the present cathedral.

The Saint Gummarus Church was built on the same spot as a previous Romanesque parish church which was dedicated to Saint John the Baptist.

A renovation of the church is planned from 2021 until 2029.
