Alexander Nevsky Cathedral

As we all know, churches are among the most visited places in cities, offering a glimpse of regional architecture from both the present and centuries past. For this reason, Baltic Tours recommends a visit to The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Tallinn's Old Town. This Orthodox cathedral, built in the typical Russian Revival style at the end of the 19th century, stands as the largest and grandest Orthodox cupola cathedral in Tallinn. Dedicated to Saint Alexander Nevsky, who triumphed in the Battle of the Ice in 1242 on Lake Peipus in present-day Estonia, the cathedral has been meticulously restored since Estonia regained independence, showcasing impressive interiors and exteriors. With eleven massive bells, three grand altars, stained glass windows, and five shining golden crosses atop its onion domes, this majestic cathedral is not to be missed. Seize the opportunity to witness this beauty and come to visit Tallinn!
