This church is absolutely gorgeous! Of all the postcards Ari sent me during this vacation of his, I have to say this is my favorite.
Say what you will regarding religion/ religious establishments, but I think most people will agree that they have the most splendid architectures in human history; granted, they have a completely different feel than structures like grand pyramids, but the attention to details is something to be admired. And this certainly includes the restorations done on them.
PS: I used to get St. Peter's Dome and this church confused, but now that I have postcards from both places, I think my brain is finally cleared up!
Details of St. Petersburg can be found on Ari's blog here and here.
