Church on the Spilled Blood

By Daina Kontrima

This amazingly beautiful Church located in the middle of St. Petersburg. It was built between 1883 and 1907 as is known under a few names, namely the Temple of the Saviour on Spilled Blood,

Even if it is not located on the grand Nevsky Prospekt, it provides an amazing view from the bridge over the Kanal Griboyedova and located on the bank of the Canal.

It has, of course, some drama behind it as Alexander the 2nd was assassinated here in 1881, and the Church was starting being built in 1883, finished in 1907. So the name comes from the fact the Alexander was stabbed to his death here.
