An Impressive Nave
The interior of St. Peter and St. Paul's Cathedral, with its glittering chandeliers, pink and green Corinthian columns and overarching vaults, is a far cry from the traditional Russian Orthodox church. Domenico Trezzini designed it according to the wishes of Peter the Great. The design borrowed much from the protestant churches of western Europe, particularly Dutch architecture.
