In the distant past the Kremlin was a self-contained medieval town, seething with the bustle of everyday life. Nowadays, the citadel's division into squares and streets has a considerably more formal flavor, although some have kept their original names down the centuries. Buildings from the 15th to the 20th century combine to create unique ensemble of architecture on Sobornaya, Ivanovskaya, Dvortsovaya, Senatskaya, and Troitskaya Squares, and also on Spasskaya, Borovitskaya, and Dvortsovaya Streets. It's worth taking a closer look at two of the main squares of the Kremlin National Park Museum - Sobornaya and Ivanovskaya.
