      A red "royal" church with a belt of "peacock's eye" tiles — one of the most ornate churches of Zamoskvorechye, right by Polyanka metro.

      • According to tradition, on this spot in 1445 Vasily the Dark, returning from Tatar captivity, saw Moscow and vowed to build a church.
      • The present church was consecrated on 1 March 1679.
      • About 9,000 "peacock's eye" tiles by the master Stepan Polubes and his colleagues went into the decoration.
      • The crosses are topped with crowns, to show that it is a royal church.
