I think "The Kremin is in the Red Square" is the most natural sounding.
You could use "on" if you were talking about a street

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question

@kimix thank you! so "we were standing in the square" will be ok?and should we use "the" with the names of squares?

- Ruso
For me "in" sounds like the Kremlin is inside the square, but it's on it.

@Tati708 "we were standing in the square" sounds good to me. I think you should use "the" with the name of squares

@kimix ok. thanks a lot! but I am a bit confused. all the textbooks say that no article is used before squares. For example, that's what I've found: We DO NOT use ‘the’ with streets, roads, squares, bridges and parks: Times Square, Piccadilly Circus, Central Park, Hyde Park, Waterloo Bridge, Fifth Avenue, Main Road, Russell Square

@Tati708: now I'm slightly confused as well! I think I've made a mistake and your textbook is right.
"I'm standing in Times Square" sounds normal, unlike "I'm standing in the Times Square"

The Red Square is not "in" the Kremlin, it is "adjacent to" "next to" or often referred to as "separating the Kremlin from the royal citadel."
The Kremlin is adjacent to Red Square.
The Red Square is next to the Kremlin.
The Red Square separates the Kremlin from the former royal citadel.

@Capt-Harris in fact for Russians it is Red Square that the Kremlin is situated in. But for this question is not very interesting. It is the preposition that I am interested in. but thanks fir this correction. Maybe it makes sense. and what is your opinion: on or in with squares?
- Inglés (US)
If you continue your line of thought that the Kremlin is "built on" or "situated inside" the Red Square, then either expression would be correct.
The Kremlin is (built) on the Red Square.
The Kremlin is (situated) in the Red Square.
I would probably use "on" since that can also mean adjacent to in English (the store is on Main Street).
