Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral
Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral, Cathedral in Kazan, Russia
The Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral features red and white exteriors with intricate floral designs across its facades and multiple tiers of windows.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1723 during Peter the Great's reign, replacing a wooden church that had stood at the site since 1565.
The cathedral houses a seven-tier iconostasis created between 1723 and 1726, which survived the Soviet period and maintains its original religious artwork.
The cathedral opens daily for visitors and conducts regular services, with special consideration given to appropriate dress codes and photography restrictions.
During the 1930s, Soviet authorities converted parts of the cathedral into a planetarium, but the building retained its original baroque architectural elements.
