Smoke in front of the Church of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ Savior on the Blood Church in St . Petersburg, #109419516
Description
Church of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is known to Petersburgers as the Church of the Savior on the Spilled Blood - or even just the Church on the Blood - as it marks the spot where Alexander II was fatally wounded in an assassination attempt on March 1, 1881. Designed by Alfred Parland in the style of 16th and 17th-century Russian churches, the Church of the Resurrection provides a stark some would say jarring contrast to its surroundings of Baroque, Classical and Modernist architecture.
