Si potrebbe dire che la Cattedrale di Sant'Isacco è la più sontuosa e grandiosa delle chiese di San Pietroburgo. Terminata nel 1858, è uno dei monumenti neoclassici più importanti dell'architettura russa del XIX secolo.Si trova nel centro della città, nella piazza che porta lo stesso nome, e vicino al corso Neva e al Museo dell'Hermitage. Ha una delle cupole più grandi al mondo ed è la seconda chiesa ortodossa più alta del mondo, con 101,5 metri di altezza dietro alla Cattedrale del Cristo Salvatore di Mosca, che raggiunge i 103 metri. Prima, nella zona che occupa l'attuale cattedrale, vi era una piccola chiesa di legno dedicata al monaco Sant'Isacco di Dalmazia, che è stata sostituita da un'altra di pietra scomparsa a metà del XVIII secolo. L'attuale Cattedrale di Sant'Isacco inizia ad essere costruita nel 1818 dall'architetto francese Auguste Montferrand. Le impalcature sono state realizzate dall'ingegnere spagnolo Agustín de Betancourt e i lavori si sono protratti fino al 1858.Per la sua decorazione sono stati usati più di 40 minerali diversi. Lo zoccolo è stato rivestito di granito; le pareti e i pavimenti dell'interno di marmi russi, italiani e francesi; le colonne di malachite e lapislazzuli. Per la cupola, di 21,8 metri di altezza, sono stati usati circa 100 chili di oro. La cattedrale è adornata da 400 opere fra sculture, dipinti e mosaici. Durante la II Guerra Mondiale, la cupola è stata verniciata di grigio per evitare di attrarre gli aerei nemici. La cattedrale ha una capacità di 8.000 persone ed è visitata annualmente da circa 1 milione di turisti. Dal 1931, la cattedrale è un museo. Si può salire fino alla cima della cupola fino al cosiddetto Colonnato della Cattedrale, da dove si può ammirare una spettacolare vista di San Pietroburgo.
