Cathedral of St. Theodore Ushakov

The Cathedral of St. Theodore Ushakov features four bell towers and a cross-shaped layout, rising 62 meters above Saransk with white walls and golden domes.

The cathedral's construction began in 2002 after the formation of the Saransk Diocese, with Patriarch Alexy II consecrating the completed structure in August 2006.

The interior contains a three-section iconostasis made of precious wood and covered in gold, displaying images of saints including Fyodor Ushakov and Seraphim of Sarov.

The cathedral basement houses a baptismal area, classrooms, an auditorium, and clergy offices, while the ground floor includes a gallery documenting construction history.

Twelve bells of varying sizes, with the largest weighing 6 tons, ring from the cathedral's towers every Sunday and during religious celebrations.
