Church of St. Martin the Confessor
Church of St. Martin the Confessor, Orthodox church in Tagansky District, Moscow, Russia
The church features a central rotunda, columned porticos, and a bell tower, constructed following the architectural designs of Rodion Kazakov in 1798.
The original wooden structure dates back to 1625, while the current stone building was commissioned by tea merchant Vasily Zhigarev in 1791.
Italian artist Antonio Claudio painted the interior murals between 1800 and 1801, incorporating images of Prophet Moses and Apostle Peter into Orthodox traditions.
The church holds regular services, maintains the original iconostasis returned from the Museum of Architecture, and contains the relics of Saint Matrona.
During the French invasion of 1812, Marshal Murat stationed soldiers to protect the church from looters after noticing its architectural excellence.
