Where in the World (456)

Answer to edition 455

The city featured in Where in the World (455) last week was not the easiest one to identify. The scene has only been around for 15 or so years and has not yet achieved iconic status. Most people seemed to focus on Russia but were unsure where, as there were not enough “onion” domes for it to be Moscow.

However it is Moscow, more precisely it is the Izmailovo Kremlin, an entertainment and cultural centre in a district of the same name. It was designed and built from old drawings of 14-17th century Moscow

Congratulations to those who identified the distorted city from Where in the World (455) as Moscow: Tim (@timofnewbury), Atul (@pixodentist) and Jackie (@jackiesjourneys).

This week's "Where in the World..."

This week’s “Where in the World…” features the iconic architecture of the city. However, it is not what the city is most noted for. One did provide the riches to pay for the other though. Good luck.
