The Church of our Savior on the Spilled Blood

This magnificent church was built on the site where Tsar Alexander 2nd was assassinated in 1881,in St.Petersburg.. Construction was started in 1883 but it was not completed till 1907 ; funded by the Imperial family & many private donations. Its architecture harks back to medieval Russia, with the most elaborate decoration ,both inside & out. Truly breathtaking to behold ,it is a spectacular achievement.
