Kremlin (Кремль) is the Russian word for "citadel" or "castle" and refers to any major fortified central complex found in historical Russian cities. This word is often used to refer to the best known one, the Moscow Kremlin. The name "Kremlin" has often been mistakenly been thought of as being Saint Basil's Cathedral because of its distinctive shape, although this is not a part of the Moscow Kremlin.
