Malaya Gruzinskaya st.





Believe me, this cathedral is situated in Moscow, hidden in the narrow streets not far away from the Central Zoo! Dimensions are shocking and the details are absolutely unforgettable. 
The project of  Roman Catholic Cathedral of Immaculate Conception was developed by Polish architect and it took 10 years to realize it (1901-1911). In 1937  the cathedral was closed, the property was ravaged. Only in 1990s, thanks to the international charity foundations, the restoration was arranged. 
If you have time, go there and listen to the miraculous organ music. It's worth it!
