Holy Trinity Cathedral, Jerusalem, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Russian Compound, Jerusalem, Israel
The cathedral stands with its eight drums topped by green domes, built from sandstone in Byzantine Revival architectural style with a cross-shaped layout.
Construction of the cathedral started in 1860 during Ottoman rule, and despite budget delays affecting interior work, it opened officially in 1872.
The cathedral functions as the main center for Russian Orthodox religious services, following traditional Orthodox Christian practices where worshippers stand during ceremonies.
Located in central Jerusalem, the cathedral remains open to visitors while regular religious services continue throughout the year for the Orthodox community.
The cathedral sits near Herod's Column, a 12-meter stone pillar that historians link to either the Byzantine period or the Second Temple construction.
