Kazanskii Sobor (Kazan Cathedral)
Description
During a 10 year period (1801-1811), master builder Andrei Voronikhin oversaw construction of this huge building, a majestic semicircular colonnade standing on Nevskii Prospekt . The 96 Corinthian columns are reminiscent of St Peter's in Rome and were the only aspect that survived from the original design formulated by Paul I. Today the former Museum of Atheism housed within the cathedral has been cunningly renamed the Museum of Religion, and daily religious services have been resumed.
