Warm welcome back to the community from me as well, dear ! 😊 (I really missed the peculiar architectural pieces you used to publish here.)
And the so-called Krestovozdvizhenskiy Kostel does not fall below. A Catholic church (as can be easily recognized by its appearance), but a center for all Christians - it is truly remarkable, incredible and contradictory.
Tell me something, this number 2 on the side, very close to the facade (which I like very much in its cleanliness and simplicity) immediately caught my attention. Do you happen to know its meaning? 😊
