Annunciation Cathedral Facts photo copyrighted by: Brian McMorrow Remains of the old foundation show that a stone church
of Annunciation stood on the site at the end of 14th
century. The domes, roof and the tops of the apses were then coated entirely in gold, supposedly stolen from the
ancient city of Novgorod after Ivan sacked it, giving rise to the cathedral's, nickname "gold-topped".
