Ivanovskaya Square is the largest Kremlin square. The Moscow Kremlin ( Russian: Московский Кремль Moskovskiy Kreml) usually referred to as simply The Kremlin, is a historic fortified It's name comes from the Ivan the Great Bell Tower.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, many government bodies were situated in the Ivanovskaya Square. It was the site of the Prikazy (Offices), the equivalent of today's Ministries. Yamskoi Prikaz, one of the offices, handled the delivery of private letters. Thus, it became the first postal address in Moscow. Moscow (Москва́ romanised: Moskvá, IPA: see also other names) is the Capital and the largest city of Court services and chanceries of various departments were also situated here.
At the end of the 1920s and early 1930s, the square was enlarged after the demolition of the Maly Nikolayevsky Palace and the Monastery of The Ascension.
Today, the square is cobbled like most of the territory of the Kremlin. It offers a view of one of the three corners of the Senate and the facade of the Presidium, one of the Kremlin’s administrative block that was erected in 1929, in place of the destroyed historic buildings.
