Ivan III's Moscow, 1500
Moscow in 1500 is the ascending capital of the Grand Principality under Ivan III, with a freshly remade red-brick Kremlin at its heart and a sprawling wooden posad of merchants and craftsmen beyond. The walk moves from the river and approaches into the Kremlin, along trading rows and log-paved lanes, and finishes on the high stone of Borovitsky Hill looking back over the city.
33 scenes — 20 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Moscow as it stood in 1500 (“History of Moscow”).
