Zagorodny Prospect, belfry and church of the Iron of Mother of God of Vladimir. Church was built in 1761-1769 by Russian architects Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli (1700-1771), Pietro Antonio Trezzini (1692-after 1760) and Giacomo Antonio Domenico Quarenghi (1744-1817). Church was closed by Communists in 1932 and was used for the factory. Church was returned to Russian Orthodox Church in 1989. Admission is free but any donations are welcome and highly appreciated.

The church is located near the Vladimirskaya metro station. You can visit and see the nice Bizantin style. Enjoy!
A very beautiful church , it has many beautiful icons and the the mix of colours and the lights is very cool.
Huge church with golden roof tops. Has a very nice garden for everyone to go and have a seat on the benches to reflex their life and day. The bell tower is separate from the church and you can see it also when you are on the roof of St Isaac's Cathedral. Has a very nice architecture and pleasant yellow colour. Worth to go have a look and a sneak peak inside also if the church is open.
Our Lady of Vladimir Church (Владимирская церковь) is a Russian Orthodox church, dedicated to Our Lady of Vladimir and located at 20 Vladimirsky Prospect, St. Petersburg, Russia. The avenue takes its name from the church. The current five-domed church was built next to Vladimirsky Market between 1761 and 1769. The church's design, frequently ascribed to Pietro Antonio Trezzini, straddles the line between Baroque and Neoclassicism. The building has two stories, with the lower church dedicated to Saint John Damascene. The detached belfry is a fine work of mature Neoclassicism, built to Quarenghi's design in 1791. The portico, chapel, fence, and outbuildings were added in the 19th century.
Awful and durty illigal trading on the square! The impression of the historical atmosphere totally spoiled
One of the big cathedrals of the city, it is marvelous. Part of the facade is under restoration but still when covered you can admire its beautiful architecture. The interiors are even more stunning.
