Sight number 3

So, not it's turn for the for the Main Catholic Cathedral. It is situated in 300 meters from the Orthodox one. So, like a circle of friends. :) The Soviets made a Gym for Minsk militia and it used to be this way for decades. Even i remember how it was just a building, and how then two towers were (re)built on the top of it. I was a kid those days, but already was amazed on transformation. :) It is not my favorite Cathedral in Minsk, but i like to stop over there from time to time.
If you are not amazed, we can skip it on our walking tours. :))

The same Cathedral in a distance, from behind. Unfortunately, the best picture so far in my collection. :)

  1. So previous one is protestant one and this one is catholic and somewhere there is orthodox also? Third and second cathedral are very similar, aren't day? No cake look (btw yesterday Dima brought wonderful cookies from Anicka – similar to ecklers but little one).
    However, cathedral is nice ... remind me on Serbian churches ... so when this church was rebuild? Who decided about it? and when it was made to be gym? sorry for many questions but you know how historical flow is important to Jasminka ;)
    btw no problems about your responsibilities in Vilnus - I will just walk around while you are finishing it. I will also have responsibilities while you are in Moscow ... but nights are ours :)
