    One of the most oldest Cathedral in Russia. It is not that big but beautiful. Inside the Cathedral, We can feel Old atmosphere. Orthodox is quite interesting comparing with other Protestant Church or Catholic Church. Anyway it was beautiful Church. Stongly recommend to go here. Entrance is surely free.
