Cathedral of Christ the Saviour
Ukraine, Uzhgorod, Kirill and Methodia Square, 7.
Description:
Stunning, beautiful Cathedral of Christ the Savior is located on the square of Cyril and Methodius Uzhgorod. It was built in the 1990s on charitable donations of citizens. The construction work was finally completed in 2000. The snow-white temple is visible from anywhere in the city and has become truly its “pearl”.
The height of the temple is 60 meters, and the main gilded dome is crowned by an 8-meter dome with a golden cross. Near the golden dome there are 4 domes of delicate blue color and smaller size. During the construction of the temple used a new architectural technique - the construction of a second dome under the main, and between the walls is a huge dome space.
In this temple, as in the Moscow prototype, about 5,000 believers can pray. In addition, there is a charity dining room at the temple, designed for 100 people. Daily services are held here from 07.30 to 09.00 hours, and evening – from 17.00 hours.
