Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood
The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is a true example of Russian architecture, which stands out from other buildings in Saint Petersburg that are mostly Baroque and Neoclassical. Many people often compare this church to Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow. Personally, I am most impressed by the interior decoration of this church. (I don't know if it's just my perception, but I see elements of early mosaics, which are very beautiful and different from other palaces or churches.)
The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood was built by Tsar Alexander III to commemorate his father, Tsar Alexander II, who was assassinated at this location in 1881. The construction took over 20 years.
Tsar Alexander II (1818-1881) survived several assassination attempts until the sixth attempt, where he was severely injured and lost a lot of blood, leading to his death at the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood.
After Tsar Alexander III ascended to the throne, he built the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood at the site where Tsar Alexander II was assassinated (as shown in picture 6) as a memorial.

Lovely weather in May! A clear afternoon in Saint Petersburg~
Peter and Paul Cathedral, 125 meters high. The proportion of that large spire to the main body is quite different from the style of Western Europe. It is said that the designer of the top weathervane was rewarded by the emperor with an amber wine cup, allowing him to drink for free in any tavern, earning a lifetime supply of drinks. How romantic~
I also visited Peter and Paul (also known as Rabbit Island), took pictures with the popular rabbit, and saw the double-headed eagle sculpture. One head looks to the east, and the other to the west, quite a grand layout...
The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood, didn't have time to go inside, but the weather was very good! So I got some very vivid onion dome photos~
Kazan Cathedral, the side door has many Roman columns, very reminiscent of the Spanish Square.
Then went to Saint Isaac's Cathedral (the Golden Dome Church), it is said that many craftsmen were sacrificed, using mercury mixed with gold leaf, layer by layer applied to the dome, the gold leaf could only stick after the mercury evaporated. It looks quite resplendent in good weather. Also didn't have time to go in, just looked at the large bronze doors, carved with the story of Jesus' crown of thorns.
Finally went to the Decembrists' Square, viewed Saint Isaac's Cathedral from a distance, saw the bronze statue of Peter the Great, the horse stepping on a snake, representing the conservatives and Sweden. Also saw a local couple taking wedding photos on the lawn~
Good weather really is the best~

Exploring the Unknown: The Cityscape Adventures of a Wanderer 🌆🌟
Think back to when you left your hometown for the first time, discovering that beyond the bus station lay roads to other cities. Sure, you had heard about them, and you nodded when people mentioned Irkutsk, Novosibirsk, or Saint Petersburg. But when you physically crossed the boundaries of your familiar world, imagination merged with reality. That's how I felt when I first arrived in a new city, a sense of wonder that still makes me restless.
Now, every time I find myself in St. Petersburg, that indescribable excitement returns. @visitpetersburg #visitpetersburg #safetravelspb

Along the Nevsky Prospekt, the most prosperous street in St. Petersburg, you can see the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ in St. Petersburg, another name is the Church of the Savior on Blood, also known as the Church of the Savior on Blood, a church with historical stories, and The St. Bachlov Church on Red Square in Moscow has a similar twist. It is bright, colorful, unparalleled and heavy. It feels more like a candy house, so you can't help but press the shutter.
Twilight time, the sun sets, the afterglow of the sky is reflected in the red church, reflecting the golden light, so that the mosaic embedded in the church shines different colors, looks like a far away. The flame of the group burned in the gradual darkness of the sky. Perhaps the only distinctive color of the word can more closely describe the infinite charm of the building.

On the evening of the second day of arrival in St. Petersburg, I wanted to take a quick look and I couldnt wait to see the Cathedral of the Spilled Blood. The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is the most popular tourist attraction in St. Petersburg, as it stands on the edge of the canal and is ideal for boat trips.
The most famous Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood, known as the most beautiful church in the world. The unique and beautiful shape, the exquisite decoration of the heavenly work, is like a breathtaking "stereo music", the rhythm and rhythm complement each other, just like the extraterrestrial things.
In 1883, the son of Alexander II, Tsar Alexander III, built the Church of the Savior on the site of his father's assassination in order to commemorate his father. The churches decorated with
gold foil, glaze, marble and mosaics are colourful and have a religious mural image of various mosaics. On the arched eaves on the front of the church is a picture of the ascension of Jesus Christ; the walls on the west side of the church depict the scene of Christ being stared at the cross in gold and colored mosaics; they are all mosaics of nails! I don't know how much craftsman's efforts are spent.

The only two churches in the world, one in St. Petersburg, why are there so few? Because only the tsars accident will kill a blood-stained church at the victims point. Inside the church, a mosaic mural made up of a thumb-sized marble and gemstones was blown up!
