From the embankment by the Pokrovskaya Tower the cathedral is visible on the far bank, at the mouth of the Mirozhka. This is a separate outing to the south, and the Krom has already ended. Olginsky Bridge leads to the Ivanovsky Monastery and does not land here. Outside, the cathedral is low and white, on the meadow by the water.
