The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour @ Moscow (Russia)

 

The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour :

The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour is a Russian Orthodox cathedral. It is located on the northern bank of the Moskva River, in Moscow, Russia.

It is the third tallest Orthodox Christian Church in the world with an overall height of 338 ft. This is the second structure at the site because the old church was destroyed in 1931 and rebuilt again from 1995 to 2000 after a very long gap.

Its construction is very grand and it's maintained in a very nice way. It is one of the very famous tourist destinations in Moscow which is close to Red Squire and many more tourist destination. It is an ideal place to spend a few hours.
