Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul
Петропавловский собор
Perm's oldest stone building, an 18th-century Baroque church near the place where the city was born.
The cathedral was built between 1757 and 1764 and is the oldest surviving stone building in Perm. It stands near the site of the Yegoshikha Works, where the city originated in 1723. Its bell tower and green dome, in the Ural Baroque style, are simple yet graceful. During the Soviet era it was put to other uses, and it has since resumed religious activity. It is about a 10-minute walk from the eastern section of the embankment and can be seen together with the “Happiness Is Just Around the Corner” installation.
