When I saw it in Isaac Square, I felt very shocked. When the guide in the tourist car introduced it, there was a deep memory. It said that due to the cold winter in St. Petersburg, the river freezes and construction materials cannot be transported, resulting in the cathedral being built for 40 years before it was built. And the church was built in a marshland, and the light reinforcement of the foundation is a vast project. Not to mention the difficulty of the 6 pieces weighing 114 tons each, shipped from the far Gulf of Finland. The church is decorated with a large number of rare colored stone materials, colored marble, peacock stone, blue gold stone, etc., and there are golden interiors, in short, it is spectacular and luxurious.
