Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood

Of every thing we saw I think this is the one that I loved the most. Alexander II was killed in battle and the people decided to build a church on that site to remember him. It was built between 1833 and 1907. The reason it took so long is because of the mosaic pictures that cover over 75,347 sq feet. During Communism it became a storage building. It took 27 years to restore and opened again in 1997

It amazes me how much detail was in these mosaics.

This is the spot were he was killed
