Is the main church in Moscow. Opened in 1883, in a memory of Russian victory over Napoleon in 1812, this building was the biggest cathedral in Russia. But communists didn't like it and planned to build a Palace of the Soviets on it's place. So the Cathedral was destroyed. Meanwhile, communists couldn't manage to build the Palace so they place an open swimming pool there. The design approved by Stalin would have stood over 400 meters high, with a vast statue of Lenin at its peak, and, although it was never built. Nowadays, Moscow Mayer decided to rebuild the Cathedral. He spent fortune to build Cathedral again.

This cathedral stands majestical next to the Moscow river. White and gold. And it makes more special is its story. (see above :o)
