Kazan Cathedral, Eastern Orthodox cathedral on Nevsky Prospect, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The cathedral extends 82.5 meters in length and 86 meters in width, with a central dome reaching 71.6 meters above Saint Petersburg.
Construction of the cathedral started in 1801 under architect Andrey Voronikhin, drawing inspiration from Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome until completion in 1811.
The cathedral holds the tomb of General Mikhail Kutuzov and stands as a memorial to the Russian victory over Napoleon in 1812.
The cathedral opens daily for religious services and tourist visits, with the main entrance located directly on Nevsky Prospect.
