Admire the Beauty of Alexander Nevsky Cathedral

One of the prettiest cathedrals you will see in Tallinn is Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, a stunning onion-domed Russian Orthodox cathedral constructed at the top of Toompea Hill dominating the skyline of Tallinn's Old Town. This Orthodox church was built in 1900 when Estonia was part of the Russian Empire as a way to extend its influence over the increasingly unruly Baltic territory.

Despite its oppression symbolism, the city never managed to demolish the structure after it gained independence and it had since been turned into one of the most important landmarks in the city that you can visit. The cathedral is packed with mosaics and icons as well as a stunning golden altar at the center despite its small interior. If you are in Tallinn's Old Town, don't forget to visit the cathedral and admire its stunning beauty. The cathedral opens from 8 AM to 6 PM every day and it is free to enter.
