Throne Hall (Chamber of Facets) in the Kremlin.
Built in 1487–1491 by order of Ivan III by Italian architects Mark Fryazin and Pietro Antonio Solari. The building was used for gala dinners, meetings, ceremonial receptions, and royal weddings. The Faceted Chamber was damaged in a fire in 1737, the roof, the floor in the entryway, the frames in the windows were burned, and the white stone carvings were damaged. In 1753, during the construction of the new Kremlin Palace, according to the design of the architect Bartolomeo Francesco Rastrelli, the Red Porch was redone, preserving the original design and stone carvings.
