Church of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is known to Petersburgers as the Church of the Savior on the Spilled Blood – or even just the Church on the Blood – as it marks the spot where Alexander II was fatally wounded in an assassination attempt on March 1, 1881.
With its multiple onion domes amongst which is the 81 m high bell tower, and the decorations with colorful glazes and ceramic tiles and stained glass, the Cathedral of the Savior or the Resurrection of Christ (official name) is one of the most recognizable symbols St. Petersburg.
