What travelers say:
Exploring the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood in St. Petersburg was an unforgettable journey through Russian history and artistry. The cathedral's striking onion domes and colorful façade make it a standout architectural gem along the city's skyline. Inside, the walls adorned with intricate mosaics depicting biblical scenes and Russian folklore transported me to another world of beauty and devotion. Learning about the tragic history behind its construction added a somber yet poignant layer to my visit. The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is not just a monument but a testament to the resilience and creativity of the Russian people, making it an essential stop for anyone seeking to understand the soul of St. Petersburg.

Savior on the Spilled Blood Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Cathedral of Spilled Blood is located by the Griboyedov Canal, adjacent to the Mikhailovsky Garden and the Russian Museum. It is a rare authentic Russian architecture in St. Petersburg. In 1811, Tsar Alexander II was killed by members of the "will of the people" due to the failure of the revolution. Between 1883 and 1907, the Cathedral on Spilled Blood was built on the site of the Tsar's death, hence the name. The design of the Cathedral on Spilled Blood draws on the style of the Cathedral of St. Basil's Ascension. The colorful "onion head" roof is very eye-catching. The height of the chapel is about 81 meters high, which is quite majestic. The chapel is also elegant in outline and richly decorated, inlaid with intricate and vividly coloured image patterns, accompanied by richly coloured patterned tiles and enamel bronze panels. Among them, the gilded onion heads are famous all over the world. The whole church can be photographed from the other side of the Riboyetov Canal. The interior of the Cathedral of Spilled Blood is decorated with more than 7,000 square meters of exquisite mosaics, mainly depicting scenes and characters from the stories of the Bible. These mosaics are exquisitely processed from Italian-made marbles of different colors and Russian-made gems. Nearly 30 artists participated in the production, which can be regarded as artistic masterpieces. A marble bust of Shatrov stands where the Tsar was killed, as a memorial to Alexander II. There is a small market next to the Cathedral of Spilled Blood, where there are many souvenirs about the Cathedral and Russian characteristics. Near the church is the entrance to the Mikhailovsky Garden, which also leads to the Russian State Museum. If you have enough time, you can visit.

The Blood Cathedral of the Savior is one of the few traditional Orthodox churches in St. Petersburg, Russia. From 1883 to 1907, Tsar Alexander III built it in memory of his father's assassination. The church is modeled on the Red Square of Moscow St. Vasily Cathedral. It has a beautiful appearance. The interior is 7,500 square meters of mosaics, full of biblical stories and characters in the genre, and is of great artistic value.
It was magnificent and wrote a prayer postcard! Amen
It's not beautiful, it's worth seeing
