This capital centerpiece looks more like a confection than a church. Where is this colorful cathedral?

Built by Ivan the Terrible, Saint Basil’s Cathedral is not terrible at all. The mid-16th-century centerpiece of Moscow stands smack dab in the middle of Red Square near the Kremlin. Made up of nine chapels, the colorful cathedral wasn't originally all these confectionary shades, which were painted some 200 years later. The cathedral is said to have been white initially to match the Kremlin.
