St. Petersburg by Montxu

Iglesia de la sangre derramada - Church of the Savior on Blood En San Petersburgo, justo en el lugar donde un tal Grinevitski asesinó a Alejandro ll de Rusia se erigió esta maravilla arquitectónica. The Church is prominently situated along the Griboedov Canal; paved roads run along both sides of the canal. On March 13, 1881 (Julian date: March 1), as Tsar Alexander's carriage passed along the embankment, a grenade thrown by an anarchist conspirator exploded. The tsar, shaken but unhurt, got out of the carriage and started to remonstrate with the presumed culprit. A second conspirator took the chance to throw another bomb, killing himself and mortally wounding the tsar. The tsar, bleeding heavily, was taken back to the Winter Palace where he died a few hours later. via 500px http://j.mp/1zBM2Xe
