Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral, Kazan (must see)

Consecrated in honor of Tsar Peter I of Russia, this cathedral built in 1722 is considered one of the most famous churches of the Naryshkin Baroque style, common in Russia in the first half of the 18th century. What mainly sets it apart from other Russian cathedrals are the numerous façade details, bright colors and décor, making it one of Kazan’s most valuable architectural and spiritual monuments. Particularly notable is the Smolensk-Sedmiozernaya Icon of Our Lady and the Iverskaya Icon of Our Lady.
