April 18: St Nicholas at Nikitniki



April 18: St Nicholas at Nikitniki
The church St. Nicholas at Nikitniki (1630) is located in Kitay-Gorod section of Moscow ( a few blocks from Red Square).  This is an excellent example of baroque Russian architecture.    The church use to dominate the skyline, but it is now located in a courtyard surround by modern buildings.  You can not see it from Red Square or any other surrounding streets.
