Beautiful. I recommend bringing a tour guide to get the best most out of your visit.

The Cathedral of the Annunciation is one of the impressive churches that can be visited at the Kremlin in Moscow. Commissioned by Ivan III in 1484 as a Royal Chapel, this is a beautiful church to see. Entrance is included with the general 'Cathedral Square' ticket for the Kremlin.

This church is located on the southern side of Cathedral Square in the Kremlin. The entrance is across from the Cathedral of the Archangel. The exterior is similar to that of other churches on the square, highlighted by golden domes topped with crosses.

The interior of the Cathedral of the Annunciation is smaller than others on the square but it remains impressive with heavily frescos walls and pillars as well as an decorative iconostasis that is worth some time to view. A handful of historic icon paintings and other religious items worth spending a few minutes to enjoy are on display as well.

Note: There are information sheets in multiple languages that you can use during your visit to the church. This can be useful for identifying the many highlighted items of interest within the Cathedral of the Annunciation.

Overall, we found the Cathedral of the Annunciation to be a nice inclusion to the group of cathedral visits at the Kremlin. While not our favourite the attractions visited here, we did enjoy our 15 minutes viewing the inside of the cathedral. It is worth making time for.
