CHURCH OF SPILLED BLOOD INTERIOR
The interior of the Cathedral of the Savior on the Blood presents a unique collection of mosaics, gems and jewelry enamel. The mosaics designed in different styles by famous painters (“Virgin” by Vasnetsov, “Savior” by Nesterov, “St.Alexander Nevski” by Ryabushkin “Walking on Water”) make a monumental and expressive composition. The total area of exterior mosaics is about 7000 square meters.
The church is a memorial made of a jade to shadow the spot, where Alexander II was killed.
In 1930 the cathedral was closed to be used as a warehouse for a long time. In 1971 the church was handed over to the museum, and St. Isaac’s Cathedral started restoration – it took 26 years to make it open for the visitors as a museum.
