The Church of resurrection was put up on the spot where Alexander II,
the Emperor of Russia, was mortally wounded on 1 March 1881. The church owes its
second, widely spread name, of the Saviour on the Spilled Blood, to this tragic
event.
The cathedral was designed in Old Russian style and modeled on Moscow
and Yaroslavl seventeenth-century churches. The mosaics, which cover a vast area
of the outer and inner walls (approximately 7000 square meters in total) make
the church monument of the international significance.
In the interior decoration of the church are amply used natural
semi-precious stones from Russia and Italy. The floor is laid out with various
kinds of Italian marble looks like a mosaic carpet.
