Nativity of Christ Cathedral

TIME : 2016/2/18 22:32:55

With gilded cupolas peeking through the trees, this Byzantine-styled Orthodox cathedral (1883) adds a dazzling dash of Russian bling to the skyline. During the Soviet period the church was converted into a planetarium but it's since been restored to its former use. Mind the dress code – definitely no shorts; women are asked to cover their heads.
