What type of structure is the st basil cathedral?
St Basil's Cathedral in Moscow was built by the architects Barma and Postnik Yakovlev, on orders of Tsar Ivan IV (AKA Ivan the Terrible) between 1555 an 1562. There is much scientific debate on the question which cultures and existing architectural styles influenced its design. It probably is a mix of Byzantine, Russian and Italian influences. It is made of red brick around a wooden frame. Most of the vivid colors that today make the cathedral so noticable are additions of later centuries. There are strong indications that much of the brickwork - and certainly the decorative part - was done by German craftsmen. Over the centuries, many additions were built to give the cathedral its present look.

If I'm not mistaken he was Russian Orthodox, as you were expected to be at that period if of any social role that mattered, especially royalty. But deep down, I doubt he cared much about religion... so complete guess: non-believer (?)
