About the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood
The Savior on Spilled Blood, a Russian Orthodox church, stands in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and it counts among the city's major attractions. Work on it ran from 1883 to 1907. The church was built where Narodnaya Volya members assassinated Alexander II in March 1881. The Romanov imperial family paid for it as an honor to him, and "on [Spilled] Blood" in the name alludes to his assassination. It was begun in 1883 under Alexander III, it was consecrated in memory of his father, and it was finished in 1907 under Nicholas II.
The church lies along the Griboedov Canal. The canal was narrowed so that the stretch of road along which the tsar was being driven fell inside the church walls, and a shrine could stand at the precise place of the attack. A ciborium-shaped shrine stands at the church's far end from the altar. It is decorated using topaz, lazurite and further semi-precious stones, which contrast with the plain cobblestones from the old road visible in its floor.
Saint Petersburg is predominantly Baroque and Neoclassical in its architecture, and this church stands apart. It recalls medieval Russian architecture, in a spirit of romantic nationalism, and it intentionally resembles 17th-century Yaroslavl churches and St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow. Mikhail Vrubel, Viktor Vasnetsov and Mikhail Nesterov were among the celebrated Russian artists who designed the interior, while the chief architect, Alfred Alexandrovich Parland, was comparatively little known. The church contains over 7,065 square meters of mosaics. Restoration lasted 27 years, and the church reopened in August 1997 as a museum of mosaics.
