Pokrovsky Cathedral
Покровский собор
A five-domed Orthodox cathedral completed in 1861. It stayed open through the Soviet era, and its icons and murals are well preserved.
The Pokrovsky Cathedral was built in 1861 and is one of the largest and most important Orthodox churches in Samara. Its five domes, in Russo-Byzantine style, stand out on Leninskaya Street. It was one of the few churches to remain open throughout the Soviet period, so its iconostasis and murals are well preserved inside. Admission is free. Women should wear headscarves, and photography is not allowed during services.
