• Kazan (Kazansky) Cathedral

Built in 1801-1811 (architect Voronikhin) to house the famous miracle-working icon of Our Lady of Kazan (now kept in the Prince Vladimir Cathedral). Kazan Cathedral was constructed in a shape of a Latin cross: the side facing Nevsky Prospect shows a colonnade of 96 columns.
