Heeft inderdaad veel weg van de koepel van de St. Pieter!

Ja Piet, St. Petersburg is een fantastich mooie stad!
Nog bedankt voor al je andere aardige reacties!

Beautiful building, great shot!!!

Fantastic architecture shot! Thought this was roman at the first look, but I admit I'm a mere dabbler when it comes to architecture.

Thanks for the comments Babyduck!

Simon, Elja also thought it resembled the dome of the St. Peter. I have to ask Tatyana (pp11364) which cathedral this is. When I know its name I can find more details on its history. Perhaps there has been Roman influences!

Haha, I can be blind with open eyes, yes Elja already mentioned it before. My thought now is - the term czar originates in the name Caesar, so I can imagine the roman culture also influenced architecture.

Senna,it is the Kazan Cathedral.It was founded 1801-1811.The architect is A.N.Voronikhin.This cathedral is situated in the centre of the city along the main street-Nevsky Prospect.

Thank you Tatyana for your information. I have included it in the caption.
