Christ the Saviour's Temple
by IngaA
It is perhaps the biggest temple I've ever seem. It's not just big, it's HUGE.
The temple was built to celebrate the victory of Russians over Napoleon troops in Patriotic war of 1812. Covered with gold, it is seen from almost everywhere.
Later, in Stalin times, it was, like many other churches, proclaimed as useless and anti-soviet and was exploded. It shared the destiny of many architectural masterpieces all over the ex-USSR. The "Moskva" swimming pool was built on its place.
Recently it was decided to rebuild the temple. Now it dominates over Moskva river and looks really impressive.

The Cathedral was built in 1489 and present days view took in 60-s of XVI century. It was a kind of home cathedral for Russian Tsars and was joined with portal with Tsar Chambers. Here you can enjoy frescos of the middle of XVI century that was discovered only in 1980-1984 under newer ones and they're really great. The main theme of the frescoes is The Last Judgement.
