Russia Cathedral Art, St. Petersburg

            The church contains over 7500 square meters of mosaics—according to its restorers, more than any other church in the world. Each tile is about the size of a fingernail.  The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood was built around 1880 and closed for almost 70 years by the communist government who planted a bomb inside that luckily did not explode. After restoration it is one of the famous sites in Russia's second largest city.
