A little more perspective
The project account describes the central tent-roofed church as 65 meters high. This measures the exterior assembly, distinct from the State Historical Museum’s 47.50-meter figure in its description of the central church’s interior.
The cluster contains churches with different roofs and heights. The central tent and its gilded top establish this entry’s highest exterior endpoint. The surrounding pavement and neighboring Red Square buildings do not form part of the monument.
