Album Info:
The cathedral, dedicated to the Holy Proto-Apostles Peter and Paul and since 1858 called Petropavlovsky, was built between 1712 and 1733 to the design of Domenico Trezzini. Consecrated on June 29, 1733, the cathedral ranks among the most remarkable monuments of Baroque architecture. It is a rectangular structure, elongated from west to east. The dome, on the eastern end, is crowned with a cupola, while the bell-tower with a gilded spire is placed over the west entrance. The bell-tower is 122,5 high, and since its creation has been the tallest architectural point in the city.
