Alexander Nevsky Cathedral – main temple of Yalta
The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Yalta is one of the main Orthodox shrines of the Crimea. The temple was built in the late XIX century in memory of the deceased Emperor Alexander II. An easily recognizable Old Russian style was chosen for the temple. A hand-made mosaic and gilded bells adorned the domes of the three bell turrets. The large front porch and external walls, painted in white and pink tones, added solemnity to the cathedral.
The interior decoration of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral was made by icon painters who came from different parts of the Russian Empire. Unfortunately, the gilded domes were sent for melting in 1938, and a sports club was set up in the cathedral. But after the end of the World War II, the cathedral was recognized as functioning and opened to the parishioners. The services are carried out in the cathedral now. A three-story building in the style of the Russian house is located near the cathedral. It houses a parish school which has been functioning since 1995.
