St. Petersburg, part X - Pokrovskaya church (ii) and Vladimirskaya Church

Vladimirskaya Church
Pokrovskaya church

More Pokrovskaya church. Ksenia treated us to some warm wine, which was nice for damp, slightly cold SPB. I can see why the people here drink so much.

Our next stop was Владимирская церковь, or Vladimirskaya Church, or Church of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God, located at 20 Vladimirsky Prospect, St. Petersburg, Russia. Its most famous parishioner was Fyodor Dostoevsky of 'Crime and Punishment' fame. Completed in 1783, it is currently one of the oldest churches in St. Petersburg. It was a very nice place to be in. Again, for future reference, the church is accessible by the station Vladimirskaya of Line 1 of the Saint Petersburg Metro and the station Dostoyevskaya of Line 4.


















Pushkinskaya where our hostel was located, also this restaurant is the best one in St Petersburg for reasons I will explain in later entries
