What a beautiful Orthodox Church. Both outside and inside is very ornate. When visiting be mindful that it's a functioning church with people actually going in to pray. It is customary for women to cover their heads inside, and church is kind enough to provide some scarfs for one use ( right inside by the entrance)
5. Temple-chapel of Alexander Nevsky
