聖索菲亞教堂 Saint Sophia Cathedral in Harbin / 中国黑龙江哈尔滨 Harbin, Heilongjiang, China / SML.20140728.6D.33452.P2

The Saint Sophia Cathedral in Harbin (聖索菲亞教堂) is a former Russian Orthodox church located in the central district of Daoli, Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province, China. Built in 1907 and expanded from 1923-32, it was closed during the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution periods, and turned into a museum in 1997.

The church stands 53.3 meters (175 ft) tall, occupies an area of 721 square meters (0.18 acres), and is the perfect example of Neo-Byzantine architecture. The main structure is laid out like a cross with the main hall topped with a huge green tipped dome. Under the bright sun, the church and the square area it lies on looks quite like the Red Square in Moscow.

Pictured is the view of the church from its side, where pigeons gather around its facade. Photographed with the Canon EOS 6D + Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM.
