Red Square (Russian: КраÑÐ½Ð°Ñ Ð¿Ð»Ð¾Ñ‰Ð°Ð´ÑŒ, Krasnaya ploshchad) is the most famous city square in Moscow, and arguably one of the most famous in the world. The square separates the Kremlin, the former royal citadel and currently the official residence of the President of Russia, from a historic merchant quarter known as Kitay-gorod. As major streets of Moscow radiate from here in all directions, being promoted to major highways outside the city, the Red Square is often considered the central square of Moscow and of all Russia.
