Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral

A beeswax candle's throw from pl Soborny is the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral, which has a much more atmospheric interior than the rather plain 1830s exterior might suggest. The complex is surrounded by attractive gardens and there's a statue of Taras Shevchenko off to the south side.
