St. John the Baptist Church, Saint Petersburg, Catholic church in Pushkin, Saint Petersburg, Russia

The church stands as a neoclassical structure with white columns at its entrance and a central dome crowning its architectural design.

Emperor Alexander I donated the land and permitted the construction of this Catholic church between 1823 and 1825, replacing an earlier 1811 structure.

The church represents a meeting point for Catholic worshippers in Saint Petersburg, maintaining regular Mass services since its reopening in 1991.

Two Spanish priests currently lead the services at the church, which operates under an agreement with the Tsarskoye Selo State Museum of Fine Arts.

The church crypt formerly contained burials that were later transferred to Our Lady of Kazan cemetery in Pushkin during the 1938 closure.
