    During the white nights, the colonnade of the St. Isaacs church is open till 05:00. Normally the colonnade closes at 20:00.

    The night opening gives you a great opportunity to see the city at night or see the sun set.

    Entrance fee 100 rubbles.

    If you have been to Rome, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan will look somehow familiar - as it was built - architecturally - after St. Peter's Basilica in Rome... the same shape and colonnade you can also find it in Portugal, at the Fatima Sanctuary.

    This cathedral is dedicated to Our Lady of Kazan, whom is very much revered by the Russian Orthodox Church. The architect is Andrey Voronikhin between 1801-1811. It is now St. Petersburg's first cathedral.

    Saint Isaac's Cathedral in Saint Petersburg, Russia is the largest cathedral in the city and was the largest church in Russia when it was built (101.5 meters high). It was dedicated to Saint Isaac of Dalmatia, a patron saint of Peter the Great who had been born on the feast day of that saint.

    The church on St Isaac's Square was ordered by Tsar Alexander I, to replace an earlier Rinaldiesque structure. A specially appointed commission examined several designs, including that of the French-born architect Auguste de Montferrand (1786–1858), who had studied in the atelier of Napoleon's designer, Charles Percier. Monferrand's design was criticised by some members of the commission for the dry and allegedly boring rhythm of its four identical pedimented octastyle porticos. It was also suggested that despite gigantic dimensions, the edifice would look squat and not very impressive. The emperor, who favoured the ponderous Empire style of architecture, had to step in and solve the dispute in Monferrand's favour.

  • Address: St Isaac Square
  • Directions: On the street "Admiralteyski Prospeckt"
