A visit to St. Petersburg, Russia isn’t complete until you step inside the ornate and gorgeous Church of the Savior on Blood! The multi-colored exterior and medieval Russian architecture of the Church draw millions of visitors per year.
Intricately detailed and colorful mosaics cover the walls and ceilings of the Church…
The Church was finished in 1907 and erected on the site where Alexander II was mortally wounded.
This was my favorite of the four Churches/Cathedrals we visited while in St. Petersburg!

Dizzying, but beautiful! It’s amazing how they managed to design and construct such buildings all those years ago. And, as always, Sherry, you have a good eye for capturing the expanse of it all.
