Memorial of the fallen soldiers during the capture of Kazan in 1552
Memorial of the fallen soldiers during the capture of Kazan in 1552, Orthodox memorial church near Kazanka River, Russia
The memorial takes the form of a twenty-meter truncated pyramid with Greek porticos and broad staircases at four entrances.
Following the capture of Kazan in 1552, Ivan the Terrible ordered the construction of a burial site for Russian soldiers who died in battle.
The memorial church contains a crypt beneath the main structure where remains of fallen soldiers from the 1552 siege rest.
The memorial building stands on a small artificial island, accessible through a bridge connected to the Kirovsky Dam in central Kazan.
The structure incorporates elements of Egyptian Revival architecture, making it distinct among Orthodox churches in Russia.
