Irkutsk | Cathedral of the Epiphany

WI_ru051.jpg

This richly decorated Baroque Russian Orthodox church was built in the 18th century at the site of an older church which was destroyed by fire. The bell tower was added in the early 19th century. The building narrowly escaped demolition during Soviet times and was renovated afterwards.
