Cathedral from the picture
For many years the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ on Blood was chained in scaffolding - its reconstruction lasted almost thirty years. The renovated church welcomes guests with a rich interior and external splendor. A variety of materials have been used in the decoration: from marble to enamel and from gilded copper to granite.
The temple was erected at the end of the 19th century on the site of the fatal wound of Emperor Alexander II and is an outstanding monument of the Russian architectural style.
