Sulla riva del canale Griboyedova sorge questo meraviglioso edificio di culto, uno dei più importanti della città: parliamo della Chiesa del Salvatore sul Sangue Versato, situata a pochi passi dalla Prospettiva Nevsky, e venne eretta nell'esatto luogo dove venne assassinato lo zar Alessandro II di Russia.La costruzione della Chiesa del Salvatore sul Sangue Versato (il cui nome ufficiale, tradotto dal russo, è quello di Cattedrale della Resurrezione di Cristo) ebbe inizio nel 1883, durante l'Impero di Alessandro III, che volle così commemorare il padre, ucciso in quello stesso luogo. I lavori furono completati soltanto 24 anni dopo, nel 1907, quando lo zar era Nicola II.Dopo la Rivoluzione d'Ottobre, la chiesa venne saccheggiata e gravemente danneggiata; i beni rimasti vennero trasferiti alla Cattedrale di Sant'Isacco; a più riprese vennero approvati progetti di smantellamento dell'edificio, tutti fortunatamente andati male. Di fatto, l'edificio smise di svolgere le sue funzioni di edificio di culto già a partire dal 1930, e dovette subire l'umiliazione di fungere da granaio e addirittura da obitorio, durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale. E in effetti, fino al 1968 la Chiesa del Salvatore sul Sangue Versato è sempre stata in bilico tra demolizione e rivalorizzazione artistica; in quest'anno, infatti, il Ministero delle Belle Arti e dell'Architettura decise di porlo sotto la propria egida. Due anni dopo, la direzione della chiesa passò alla Cattedrale di Sant'Isacco, coi fondi della quale vennero finanziati i lavori di restauro, riconoscendo finalmente l'immenso valore artistico dell'edificio; in effetti, non si tratterebbe nemmeno di un edificio di culto, non essendo mai stato consacrato, ma piuttosto un gesto di commemorazione del figlio nei confronti del padre. A differenza degli altri edifici di culto russi, prevalentemente in stile barocco o neoclassico, la Chiesa del Salvatore sul Sangue Versato è un magnifico esempio di architettura russa medievale, sulla base della famosa Cattedrale di San Basilio a Mosca. La chiesa è famosa soprattutto per i suoi meravigliosi mosaici, che ricoprono una superficie di oltre 7.000 metri quadri: con la Basilica di San Marco, probabilmente è il più grande mosaico del mondo. Peccato che il giorno in cui ero lì la chiesa fosse chiusa per riposo settimanale.

“ for the wires, as I think, there are and remain „

Actually, if the photo wants to document a precise moment, even the threads are there; others think that in a photo you should absolutely eliminate unnecessary structures that disturb the such as cranes, electric wires, road billboards (etc.).

Beautiful photo, full of details and colors just as natural. About wires or billboards and related if there are in a photograph as well I leave them, I think the shot is mirror of what we see and everything must enter.
