Seeing and visiting the Church of Spilled Blood on the outside of the church was great. The tour guide had given us the entire history of how the church got its name and the battles that had taken place there. But For anyone to go in, It cost an 'arm and a leg', expensive. Whatever the conversion was from Russian currency to american currency, it was pricey. It is a great place to go and check out and the pictures turn out great, but if you want to see the inside just make sure you REALLY want to go in! Hopefully it will be worth the money. I didn't go inside.

Another important architectural landmark of the city is the Xram Spasa Na Kravi (Church on Spilt Blood as we call it in English, or Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood). This building is interesting because it is done in a style more frequently seen in Moscow, a deliberate architectural decision of Alexander III to imitate the style of national symbols… An Introduction to St. Petersburg
