It was impressive to see it on Amazing Race today. One of my favourite monument in the capital of Estonian, the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. An orthodox cathedral, situated on the top of the hill of Toombea.

I was without a doubt intrigued by the beauty of the Russian Architecture, which without a doubt remind me of the architecture of Kremlin in Moscow. It was almost been destroyed by Estonian nationalist who saw it as a symbol of opression. Luckily the decision was never implemented due to lack of funds and the buildings massive construction.

This type of architecture, which is known as Neo-Byzantine architecture in the Russian empire, definitely seduces me. Despite the fact that someone asked me for money in Tallinn, it was still one of the place that I enjoyed the most visiting, and mostly because of its impressive architecture.
