Its not allowed to photograph the church. You have to buy a ticket. Its worth the money, because the view from the top ist stunning. Also visit the market underneath the church

An oasis in the city. Many benches outside the church invite you to linger. Peace and relaxation guaranteed.

The church is 46 meters high, 30 meters long and 23 meters wide. It is cross-shaped, with one main dome and four small towers topped with smaller domes. The entrance to the church leads through a fourteen-meter staircase. On all sides, the building is decorated with rows of Corinthian pilasters and gilded reliefs with floral motifs. The windows of the church are round or semicircular (at the level of the main dome). The church iconostasis was made in 1754–1761 by Antropov and Wyszniakow.
The temple was built on the initiative of Empress Elizabeth in 1744–1753 according to the design of Bartolomeo Rastrelli on the site of the former Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. According to legend, this hill was passed by St. Andrew and pointed them out as a place where, thanks to God, a city and a wonderful temple will be created. The construction works were managed by Iwan Miczurin, the rococo interior decorations were made by O. Antropow, H. Lewicki, I. Wyszniakow and P. Borispolec according to Rastrelli's ideas.
A total of twenty-three and a half thousand bricks were used to build the facility. The tsarina laid the cornerstone herself.
