The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is one of the symbols of Saint-Petersburg as well as Saint Basil in Moscow. By the way, they are quite often confused.
All in all, the Church of the Savior was built after St. Basil in 1881 in a memory of the dreadful death of Emperor Alexander II. This is one of the unique particularities of the Cathedral, in addition to the 7500 square metters of mosaics that fully cover the interior of the Cathedral.
