Cathedral of Christ the Saviour (Khram Khrista Spasitela)
Prechistenskaia naberezhnaia, 37, Moscow, RussiaTel: +7 812 203 3823; +7 812 202 1721
Mayor Luzhkov was once considered a pretender to the Russian presidency. He certainly does not lack the sense of civic grandeur with which previous Russian rulers have been blessed. This vast cathedral, whose golden domes sit atop a pale majestic hulk of marble and granite, was built at Luzhkov's bidding for the princely sum of USD150 million. The original incarnation was erected in commemoration of Russia's defeat over Napoleon. The current reconstruction was built for Moscow's 850th anniversary, and is a fitting symbol both of a reborn Russia and the dizzy pretensions to grandeur of modern Moscow. Admission is free.
