Das Innere der Alexander-Newski-Kathedrale in Sofia fasziniert durch seine üppige neobyzantinische Ausstattung, die über fünf Kirchenschiffe verteilt ist. Wände und Kuppeln sind mit Fresken und Ikonen bedeckt. Die prächtige Ikonostase aus aufwendig geschnitztem Holz mit Blattgold trennt das Heiligtum vom Hauptschiff und bildet das visuelle Herz des Raums.

Die Alexander-Newski-Kathedrale im Zentrum von Sofia und zählt zu den markantesten Wahrzeichen Bulgariens. Sie wurde zwischen 1882 und 1912 im neobyzantinischen Stil mit goldener Kuppel errichtet und ehrt Zar Alexander II. sowie die Soldaten, die im Russisch-Osmanischen Krieg von 1877-1878 fielen.

Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in #Tallinn.
Onion domes rise above red and white arches and gold crosses catch the light between passing clouds.

The incredibly ornate spires of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral loom over Hirve Park in Tallinn, Estonia.

The next country on our Baltic cruise in 2017 was Estonia where we decided not to book any tours as the capital city was within walking distance of the ship and there were some museums relating to the Cold War and World War II periods we were interested in that weren't part of anything organised. These all turned out to closed when we visited despite websites claiming otherwise so we ended up simply walking around the very attractive city. Beers were had in the sunshine, of course.

Pictured is the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral on Toompea hill. Built in a typically Russian style and during a period of Russification and occupation it's subsequently become a symbol disliked by many Estonians and plans to demolish it frequently come up, with more arising since 2022 for obvious reasons.
