Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood

Perché vale la deviazione

The church marks the precise area where Alexander II was mortally wounded by a People’s Will bomb on March 13, 1881, or March 1 under the Russian calendar then in use. Its glittering mosaics therefore enclose the memory of a chaotic assassination that ended a reforming reign and hardened the politics of his successors.

The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is a Russian Orthodox church in Saint Petersburg, known for its stunning mosaics and historical significance as the site of Emperor Alexander II's assassination. It functions as both a museum and a church, making it a major attraction in the city.
