Construction of the Faceted Chamber began in 1487.The southern end of the chamber joins the famous Red Porch, where Russia's rulers traditionally appeared before their people. This "Red" porch, carved from white stone, earned its name not from its color, but because the word "krasnyi", which in modern Russian means "red", once had the meaning of "beautiful". In 1930 the porch was removed, but it was returned again in 1994.The technique known as "brilliantovii rust" was used in its decoration: Each facing block of white stone was dressed with four facets. This particular workmanship is typical of the architecture of the Renaissance era.
