St Basil’s Cathedral, Moscow Russia
- Russia is known for its onion-shaped roofs, ironically called the onion dome. It’s an architectural style that has been around for centuries in Russia. While homes do not typically have this style of roof it’s very common for churches. Lastly, the onion shape represents two things: gathering goodness from heaven and the holy spirit pouring into the church. Regardless of religious beliefs, St. Basil’s Cathedral is an amazing view.
