Cathedral Bell
Description:
The cathedral bell in Nizhny Novgorod is a real work of art. The giant bell is a shrine created for the four hundredth anniversary of the feat of the Nizhny Novgorod militia Minin and Pozharsky.
In 2007, the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia blessed the creation of the bell. And only in 2011, according to the project of honored Russian architect Andrei Zabaluev, the bell was cast in bronze in St. Petersburg at the Baltic Plant.
Its diameter is about four meters, and the weight is over sixty tons. It's the third largest giant. The main tone of its sound is the note “salt”.
On the bell you can see bas-relief images of saints, princes, founders of Veliky Novgorod. The inscriptions are made in Old Slavonic. The cost of the shrine is 78 million rubles. This place is one of the favorite places to visit parishioners and believers from other cities.
You can get to the place by public transport to the Strelka stop and then walk a little on foot.
