Naval cathedral
This cathedral was founded like a memorial for all military sailors who died in combat and opened in 1917 – just 4 years baefore the revolution. It’s unusual trait is a wide usage of mosaic and metal parts in icons: this is not a traditional orthodox style. Even it’s round windows resemple the ships portholes. Well, if you somehow get there – be sure to be greatly inpressed, just take the look at those pictures.
Soooo far from the city
Please notice that Krondshtat is an island far away from St. Petersburg so you need to use a boat, get an extremely expensive taxi (probably up to 30-50 dollars or something) or go by bus from Parnas metro station and then get another bus in Kronshtadt. This trip will take the whole day most probably so plan something else to do in Krondshtat (see the Kronshtadt museums list on Tripadvisor please).
Dress code
Orthodox traditions are strict about dresscode. First of all, no shorts or T-shirts or mini-skirts allowed. Men should take hats off, ladies should have some hat on their heads (or at least put on a shawl). Any formal wear is OK for churches. Don’t worry too much though, everyone is used to tourists in shorts and sandals here, but still they may not let you in if something serious is happening inside (a cermon or whaever).
Address: Yakornaya square 1, Krondshtadt town
