Russia: Saint Peter and Paul Cathedral

The Saint Peter and Paul Cathedral is quite beautiful, although not nearly as exquisite as St. Isaac's Cathedral or The Cathedral of he Saviour on the Spilled Blood.

Two popular reasons to visit Saint Peter and Paul is to see the final resting place of Peter the Great and Catherine the Great.
But without a doubt, the most popular reason to visit this cathedral is to see the final resting place of the Last Tsar of Russia. The remains of Nicholas II, Alexandra, their children, and servants were found and returned to Russia in 1998. All are buried in the chapel below.
