Cathedral of Christ the Saviour
The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour is a Russian Orthodox cathedral on the northern bank of the Moskva River in Moscow. The present building is a full reconstruction completed around 2000 on the site of the 19th‑century cathedral that was demolished in 1931; it serves as a major place of worship and ceremonial events.

The shape it held in its prime.
A monumental white stone (ashlar) basilica set on a raised plinth, dominated by a very large central gilded onion dome flanked by four smaller gilded cupolas and twin bell towers. Tall round‑arched clerestory windows ring the drum beneath the main dome; broad stone steps lead up to three deep arched portals with sculptural reliefs and heavy bronze doors. The cathedral sits above the Moskva River with a pedestrian bridge and paved plaza approaching the façade.
