Yalta is a town on the south coast of the Crimean Peninsula surrounded by the Black Sea. It came to worldwide attention in 1945 when the Yalta Conference between the “Big Three” powers – the Soviet Union, the United States and the United Kingdom – was held at the “Livadia Palace”, but long time before and after that historical meeting, Yalta was a resort city. It serves as the administrative center of Yalta Municipality, one of the regions within Crimea. It has a warm humid subtropical climate and is surrounded by numerous vineyards and orchards. #yalta #crimea #black #sea #conference  

Construction of the church began in 1883 during the reign of Alexander III, two years after the assassination of his father Alexander II. The church was dedicated to being a memorial to his father. A temporary shrine was erected on the site of the attack while plans and fundraising for a more permanent memorial were undertaken. #church #of #the #savior #on #blood #st.petersburg  

Будівництво церкви розпочалось у 1883 р. Під час правління Олександра III, через два роки після вбивства його батька Олександра II. Церква була присвячена тому, щоб бути пам'ятником його батькові. На місці нападу було встановлено тимчасову святиню, в той час як проводились плани та збір коштів для створення постійнішого меморіалу. #church #of #the #savior #on #blood #st.petersburg
