It's made with a little bit of gold, but mostly wood, stone, and brick. The domes originally were helmet-shaped cupolas, but after a fire in 1583 they were replaced by ribbed or faceted onion domes. It is only since 1670 that the domes have been painted many colors; at one time St. Basil's was white with golden domes.
