Review:
Built around the late 1800s by architect Mikhail Preobrazhensky, the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Tallinn Old Town is the town’s grandest and largest orthodox cupola cathedral. It is built in a distinctive Russian Revival style, mostly because it was constructed while Estonia was a part of the Russian Empire. Visitors will find a lot of exciting details in the interior and the exterior of the cathedral; there are also eleven richly decorated bells in the cathedral, with the largest one weighing nearly 16 tons. Other aspects of the cathedral that shouldn’t be missed include its religious mosaics, stained glass windows, and the three gilded and carved wooden iconostases.
