RE: Temple of Alexander Nevsky

in Architecture+Design3 years ago

Belarus is certainly blessed with all sorts of temples, churches, and other religious landmarks. It seems that they're just a stone's throw away or even a much shorter walking distance from where you live, isn't it? The Temple of Alexander Nevsky is quite interesting in its architectural character because of the peculiar shapes of its geometric compositions. If I may ask, what's the dominant religion of the majority of the sacred buildings in your region?

Indeed, there are many religious sites here. Monuments of architecture have been preserved in many cities. Historically Belarus can be divided into two parts: eastern and western. One part was under the influence of the Russian Empire, and the other part was under the influence of the West. For this reason, there are many different styles of architecture. I live in the eastern region and therefore Orthodoxy prevails here. Although there is also Catholicism. In addition to temples, there are other wonderful architectural sights of the bygone era. I will talk about them.
Thanks for your support and feedback!

Amazing! Belarus certainly has an extremely rich mix of various cultural, political, and religious influences. And one of the strongest signs is clearly evident in your sacred buildings. I look forward to experiencing other types of superb built environments from your location soon. Many thanks and have a happy weekend! 😀
