The Church on Spilt Blood in St. Petersburg, Russia is an amazing structure inside and out, although on my trip I did not visit the interior. The church was constructed to commemorate the\u00c2\u00a0death of Czar Alexander II who was assassinated on this spot on 13 Mar 1881. Construction began in 1883 under Alexander III and was completed in 1907 during the reign of Nicholas II. The church suffered significant damage during World War II; some of the damage can still be seen. The church has been deconsecrated and is used as a museum. The Mikhalovskiy garden is adjacent to the church.<\/p>\n
