Russia | St. Petersburg | Church | Savior on Spilled Blood | spb Tours | Mosaics | Architecture
The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is often referred to as the Church of the Resurrection
or the Savior on Spilled Blood. With its five decorative multicolored domes, the beautiful
architecture is quite different as compared to other buildings in St. Petersburg. It was
interesting to learn that the construction took about 24 years and after extreme vandalism,
another 27 years was devoted to restoration. We could have spent hours admiring the not to be
missed mosaic collection inside the church.

Do you enjoy seeing churches when you travel to new countries?
We've overheard lots of people say things like "please, not another church"! While I guess I
could get tired of too many churches, I have this desire to see everything. (Yes, I know it's not
possible!) A two day tour with spbTours will be a highlight of your time in St. Petersburg. The
Savior on Spilled Blood Church is memorable - both inside and out.
