The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour lies on the bank of the Moscow River, only a few blocks from the Kremlin. Originally erected in the 19th century to commemorate the Russian soldiers who lost their lives in the Russo French war of 1812, it is still the tallest Eastern Orthodox Church in Mother Russia. In 1997, the church was restored and returned to the Orthodox Church, and as you can see from this panorama, the job they did was magnificent.
