1. First Appearance

There are many speculations about the first appearance of the Onion Domes in Russia. Among those theories, some experts believe that the onion-shaped vault first appeared at the top of Saint Basil Cathedral. This Russian Orthodox church was started to build in 1555 and consecrated in 1561, which all happened during the reign of Ivan The Terrible (1533-1584). Even when Ivan’s son, Fyodor I, started to reign (1584-1598), the church has not been altered. This is proof that the onion dome already existed in Russia in the sixteenth-century."_6 Facts of Onion Domes:Russia
