The City of St. Peter: Summer Reminiscence

PHOTOGALLERY

We present to our readers a gallery of works by Dmitry Kiryukhin, photo correspondent of the Pravoslavie.ru website, dedicated to St. Petersburg in summer. The Sts. Peter and Paul Fortress, Kazan Cathedral, Nevsky Prospect, the Optina Monastery Metochion, and the St. Petersburg embankments… Dmitry has captured the places that are the true “calling cards” of Petersburg, which never cease to attract visitors to the Northern Capital.
