Church on Spilt Blood

A few days ago we ventured out to one of the tourist spots in the city, the Church on Spilt Blood, to learn about this church and its history you can follow this link to wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_Savior_on_Blood

As you can see from these pictures the mosaics inside the church are absolutely amazing.

Even though the building is not currently a church, and has never been used as a public place of worship, the religious mosaics inside rival any art Nicole or I have seen throughout Italy or the rest of Mainland Europe. The church is about a 10 minute walk from our apartment. This coming week Nikki has a tour of the Hermitage scheduled with the International Wives club, so she will have to let you know about that experience...
