One of the most beautiful cathedrals that preserved till our times was St, Isaac’s Cathedral. It took forty years to construct the Cathedral. The construction began in 1818 and ended only in 1858. St. Isaac’s cathedral remained the main Russian church up to the time of revolution in 1917.
Many precious sanctities were brought to the Cathedral, among them the Our Lady of Tikvin icon and many others. It is very difficult to express its beauty by words, you have to visit it yourself and admire the luxurious décor of the cathedral.
St, Isaac’s Cathedral is the pride of St. Petersburg. From the observation walkway you will be able to see all beautiful views of St. Petersburg.
