 | Saint Petersburg St.Isaac's Cathedral Reviews | 41 - 50 of 72 |  |
 by keeweechic
The church was built by a French-born architect Auguste Montferrand to be the main church of the Russian Empire and was under construction for 40 years (1818-1858). The decoration is very elaborate with 80 ton columns made of single pieces of red granite. Many of the icons are the most exquisite mosaics. The cathedral, which can accommodate 14 thousand worshipers, is now a museum and services are held only on major occasions.

Huge dome, I'm thinking the 3rd largest after St. Peters in Vatican City, and the Ayah Sophia in Istanbul, both of which I'm happy to say I've seen. Leave a Comment Directions: Just off Nevsky Prospect at the banks of the Neva River, next to the Admiralty.
