Church of the Exaltation of the Cross
Church of the Exaltation of the Cross, Orthodox church on Ligovsky Prospekt, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Church of the Exaltation of the Cross features a neoclassical belltower with curved colonnades and a white stone structure topped by a pale blue dome.
Built in 1794 under the Holy Synod's orders, the church served the Cossack community of Imperial regiments who populated the surrounding area at that time.
The church complex maintains its role as a spiritual center where daily services are conducted in the Tikhvin Church and Sunday morning services in Saints Kirill and Mefodiy Church.
Located at 128 Ligovsky Prospekt, the church complex opens daily from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM and is accessible from Ligovsky Prospekt metro station.
The complex includes multiple churches and chapels, with the main structure receiving extensive modernization between 1848 and 1851 under architect Egor Dimmert's design.
