Moscow Kremlin was built by the Italians in the 15th century and rebuilt more than once throughout the history. Based on Lombard tradition the top of the wall is decorated with the “teeth” in the form of a dovetail as in the Sforza Castle in Milan. As in Milan Kremlin was built from the red brick and later was repainted in to the white as any other Kremlins in Russia. Bolsheviks who made the Kremlin the citadel and the symbol of state power have repainted it back to red just before the war. Now Kremlin is the museum and the official residence of the president.

Tretyakov Gallery was founded by the Russian philanthropist, whose name is engraved forever in the name of the Museum.
