The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood in Saint Petersburg is renowned for its vibrant architecture and historical significance. Built on the site of Emperor Alexander II's assassination, it features 7500 square meters of mosaics and various precious materials. The church, which took 24 years to construct, was closed in the 1930s and repurposed during WWII as a morgue and later for vegetable storage, earning the nickname 'Savior of Potatoes'. Today, it stands as a testament to Russia's rich cultural and historical heritage.
