Chiesa Russa, Eastern Orthodox church in Sanremo, Italy.
The Chiesa Russa features a central dome reaching 50 meters high, accompanied by five smaller gilded domes topped with Russian three-arm crosses.
The church construction began after Tsarina Maria Alexandrovna's visits to Sanremo in 1874, attracting Russian aristocratic families seeking relief from tuberculosis.
The interior structure includes a large nave, semi-circular apse, and an iconostasis divided by three substantial doors, following Orthodox architectural traditions.
Located at Via Nuvoloni 2 in Sanremo, the church holds religious services on Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings for the Orthodox community.
The crypt served as the initial burial site for Montenegrin royals, including Queen Elena's parents, until their remains moved to Montenegro in 1989.
