Saints Boris and Gleb Church
Saints Boris and Gleb Church, Orthodox cathedral in Staritsa, Russia.
The Saints Boris and Gleb Cathedral features five domes, cross-cupola architecture, and four-column Tuscan porticos with decorated pediments and attics.
The original cathedral, constructed between 1558 and 1561, was replaced by the current classical building, completed in 1816 by architect Matvey Chernyatin.
The cathedral preserves two ceramic plates with 'The Holy Face' and 'The Crucifixion' imagery, crafted by local Staritsa artisans using traditional glazing techniques.
Religious services resumed in 2018 after decades of abandonment, with ongoing restoration work to repair damage sustained during World War II.
The three-tier bell tower, added in 1827, includes a small Church of the Holy Face and represents an ancient architectural type known as 'under-the-bells'.
