Deskripsi :
Saint Isaac's Cathedral in Saint Petersburg, Russia is the largest Russian Orthodox cathedral
in the city. It is dedicated to Saint Isaac of Dalmatia, a patron saint of Peter the Great,
who had been born on the feast day of that saint.
The church on St Isaac's Square was ordered by Tsar Alexander I, to replace an earlier
Rinaldiesque structure, and was the fourth consecutive church standing at this
place.
A specially appointed commission examined several designs, including that of the
French-born architect Auguste de Montferrand (1786–1858), who had studied in the atelier of
Napoleon's designer, Charles Percier. Montferrand's design was criticised by some members
of the commission for the dry and allegedly boring rhythm of its four identical pedimented
octastyle porticos. It was also suggested that despite gigantic dimensions, the edifice would
look squat and not very impressive. The emperor, who favoured the ponderous Empire style
of architecture, had to step in and solve the dispute in Montferrand's favour.
The cathedral took 40 years to construct, under Montferrand's direction, from 1818 to
1858.
During World War II, the dome was painted over in gray to avoid attracting attention from
enemy aircraft. On its top, in the skylight, a geodesical intersection point was placed, with
the objective of aiding in the location of enemy cannon.
With the fall of communism, the museum was removed and regular worship activity has
resumed in the cathedral, but only in the left-hand side chapel. The main body of the
cathedral is used for services on feast days only.
The cathedral's main dome rises 101.5 metres (333 ft) and is plated with pure gold.
The dome is decorated with twelve statues of angels by Josef Hermann.
