"Church on the Spilled Blood" in St. Petersburg



The most beautiful cathedral top in all of St. Petersburg (in my opinion) is the "Church ON the Spilled Blood."  It as built on the exact spot where Emperor Alexander II was assassinated in 1881.  It has 5 beautiful and brightly colored domes and the interior is completely covered with brightly colored mosaics that cover the 4 Gospels.  There are no paintings, ONLY mosaics that are master pieces.



This is the exact spot where Emperor Alexander II was assassinated in 1881.
