Some pictures of the St. Petersburg City

It was a great evening and I just wanted to take as many pictures as I can. Peter the Great St. Isaak's Cathedral was built in 1818-1858 (architector A. Montferrand). The Cathedral is decorated with 112 granite one-piece columns. Its height is 101.88 meters (over 300 feet) and the building weight over 300,000 tonns. Cathedral can hold 13,000 people.
