[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 668289, member: 43545"] This is St Isaac Cathedral, the second largest church in the world and is located in the city center of my adopted home of St Petersburg Russia. It can accommodate 12,000 in services. I am not religious but I like churches and visit them in every new country I visit, 90 countries so far, because of their architecture and if very old, are the only places art was seen before the Renaissance. They usually reflect the culture where they are located at the time of their construction. There are hundreds of similar churches in this city but this one is the largest and this shot only shows one wing of it. Naturally, it became a major tourist attraction when it became primarily a museum but services are conducted on special religious events. There is another cathedral not very far away that has more religious significance as the home of highly revered relics and serves as the main Orthodox cathedral, Kazan Cathedral.
