✨When in Moscow, I didn't originally plan to go to the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. I was citywalking with a friend in Moscow, and as we walked along the Moscow River, we saw the golden onion domes. I checked and found out it was the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, an unexpected itinerary and gain! ✨The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour (Russian: Храм Христа Спасителя) is located on the banks of the Moscow River. It is the tallest Orthodox church in the world and one of the most magnificent churches in Moscow. ✨The church was ordered to be built by Tsar Alexander I. It was originally built to commemorate Russia's victory over Napoleon in the War of 1812, to thank the Saviour Christ for 'saving Russia from defeat and preventing her from being disgraced', and to commemorate the Russian people who sacrificed in the war. ✨The church has undergone several reconstructions and was finally preserved during the Soviet era and became famous.
