Orthodox odnoprestolny Memorial Church of the Resurrection; erected in memory of the fact that this place 1 [13] in March 1881 as a result of the attempt was mortally wounded Tsar Alexander II (the expression on the blood indicates the blood of the king). The temple was built as a memorial to the King of martyrs funds collected throughout Russia. Located in the historic center of St. Petersburg on the bank of the Griboyedov Canal near the Mikhailovsky Garden and the Stables area, not far from the Champs de Mars. A museum and a monument of Russian architecture. The temple was built by order of Emperor Alexander III in 1883-1907 years on the joint project of the architect Alfred Parland and Archimandrite Ignatius (Malyshev), who later withdrew from the building. The project was implemented in the Russian style, somewhat reminiscent of Moscows St. Basils Cathedral. The construction lasted for 24 years. August 19, 1907, the cathedral was consecrated.
