Tsar Spotting




Today we visited the spot where Tsar Nicholas was fatally wounded, and the place that all the Russian Tsars now rest. Both the Church of the Spilled Blood and the Cathedral in the Peter and Paul fortress are splendid! The Peter and Paul Cathedral is not an active church today, but it is the sacrid burial ground for Imperial Russia. It was a perfect day walking around this shimmering city!
