The spellbinding Church on the Spilled Blood never fails to impress visitors. The
church was built to commemorate the death of Tsar Alexander II, who, in an
event that gave the church its unusual name, was attacked here by a terrorist group
and later died of his injuries in 1881. Despite its grizzly heritage, the glittering, multi-
coloured onion domes and intricate interior mosaics are quite simply stunning, and
have to be seen to be believed.
