Church of Metropolitan Philipp in Meshchanskaya sloboda
Church of Metropolitan Philipp in Meshchanskaya sloboda, Eastern Orthodox church in Meshchansky District, Russia
The Church of Metropolitan Philipp features a two-story rotunda with Doric decorations, crowned by a cylindrical drum and topped with a dome at Gilyarovskogo Street.
Architect Matvey Kazakov designed this religious building between 1777 and 1788, incorporating an existing refectory and bell tower from 1752 into the new structure.
The interior contains four Ionic columns supporting a central rotunda with an egg-shaped coffered vault, while the choir stalls sit behind Doric-pillared arcades.
Located near Prospekt Mira metro station, the church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural features and religious significance.
The church houses three important religious artifacts: the icon of St Philip, the 17th-century Atakskaya Virgin, and the 17th-century Our Lady of Smolensk.
