Patriarchy Most & Cathedral

Patriarchy Most & Cathedral

The old style pedestrian bridge, called Patriarchy Most (Eng: Patriarch's Bridge), was built at the end of summer 2004 and presently spans the Moscow River between the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and Bersenevskaya Naberezhnaya. The bridge is geometrically tied to the Christ the Savior's Cathedral ensemble. Russian Academy of Arts Professional Artistic Centre of Zurab Tsereteli provided artistic decoration of the bridge. Very impressive illumination, architecture and location of this bridge attracts a lot of tourists as at day as at night.

About the cathedral in brief:
The Cathedral of Christ the Savior is a great monument to Russian military glory and superb example of Russian architecture. It was opened in 1883, in a memory of Russian victory over Napoleon in 1812. This Cathedral had been under construction for about 40 years (1839-1883), but it was destroyed in one day, in December 5th, 1931 - during the Stalin's time, because communists decided to build "Soviet Palace" for their meetings. The Cathedral was recovered during 1995 - 2000. It is considered that the Cathedral of Christ the Savior is the biggest church in Russia and it is the symbol of Orthodox Religion.

We recently spent two days with our friends in Moscow and cannot say enough good things about our experience with Arthur! He is very knowledgeable about Moscow history and makes you feel so comfortable during your visit! Arthur was always on time and excited and ready to share his city. We only had 2 days in Moscow and Arthur was amazing at helping see all the great sites in a short time, without ever feeling rushed. On our last day, Arthur took us to a great restaurant where he helped us to choose traditional Russian food from the menu! Arthur was more than a guide, he was a friend and we are very grateful to have met him. Thank you for helping us make our visit to Moscow one of our most favorite experiences we've had! Keep up the good work!
