St. Basil's Cathedral was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible in the 16th century, specifically in 1555-1561, to commemorate the capture of Kazan. The architect traditionally credited with its design is Postnik Yakovlev. However, it is important to note that the cathedral is often associated with the Russian Orthodox Church and the broader context of Ivan IV's reign rather than a single leader at the time of its construction.
