This place is really awesome

Built in the early 1800s to duplicate the Vatican's Basilica of St. Peter, this huge cathedral served as a monument to Russia's victory over Napoleon in the War of 1812 and today houses the Museum of Religion.

    Gen. Kutuzov is buried here
    Kazan Cathedral is a striking neo classical edifice set in the middle of Nevsky prospekt. It's dome is visible from a distance, and while you approach it you'll see colonnades around it in both directions. It strongly reminds on Rome's St. Peter, and is in fact built according to it in 1810. Apart from the interiors beauty, specially the altar, most interesting I found was the Gen. Kutuzov tomb inside. Our Lady of Kazan was general's patron saint who he asked for help when Napoleon invaded Russia in 1812. After defeating him, Kutuzov was buried in the Kazan Cathedral in 1813.

    Kazan Cathedral St. Petersburg Russia
    While walking through Nevsky Prospect, I just crossed the Canal Briboedova and I was standing in front of Kazan Cathedral. It is also known as our Lady of Kazan and it is an active place of worship in St Petersburg. This cathedral was built at the dawn of the 19th century. Besides visiting the church, you can relax in the park of the Cathedral. Moreover, you can step outside where the quirky street performers and musicians grace Kazanskaya Square in front of the cathedral. For this purpose, you can grab a seat and enjoy the show before moving on.
