ST. ISAAC'S CATHEDRAL
The Saint Isaac’s Cathedral is the fourth largest doomed cathedral in the world. Built in the first half of the 19th century, the cathedral became the embodiment of the spiritual strength of the Russian Empire, which at the time was at the peak of its power. After it had defeated the Napoleon’s once-mighty Grande Armée, the Russian Empire became the most powerful European country for almost three decades. The quotation placed in the north portico frieze «The king shall joy in thy strength, O Lord» can be considered as the incarnation of the concept behind the construction of the cathedral.
Please note!
During the Great Patriotic War the cathedral was damaged by bombshells and ar llery bombardment. The war scars can still be seen on its walls and columns.
