St Vladimir's Church, Moscow

The Church of St. Vladimir in the Old Gardens (Церковь Святого Владимира в Старых Садах) is a pentacupolar Orthodox church in Basmanny District of Moscow, next to Ivanovsky Convent, close to the confluence of the Yauza and Moskva rivers.

It originated in the early 15th century as a palace church of Vasily I and was frequented by royals until the ascension of the Romanov dynasty.

[1] The south porch is left over from an earlier church designed by Aloisio the New for Vasily III in 1514.

A distinctive belfry was overhauled during Catherine II's reign.
