ST. CATHERINE’S CATHEDRAL IN TSARSKOE SELO designed in Russian-Byzantine style by architect K. A. Ton, constructed on Sobornaya Square in 1835-40. In 1851-52, the side-altars were consecrated. The cathedral could hold 2,000 people. Facades of the five-dome building were finished with zakomaras (semicircular gables) with small semicircular windows; the entrance was constructed with an isometric tunnel entrance. The icons of the main iconostasis were painted by F. A. Bruni, A. E. Egorov, F. P. Brullo and others. The altar was adorned with religious paintings: Crucifixion by A. Van Dyck and Madonna in Glory by P. Veronese. Major-General Y. V. Zakharov, who took part in the Patriotic War of 1812, was interred in the crypt of the St. Catherine’s Cathedral; Protopresbyter Ioann Kochurov was also buried there in 1917, having been killed by Bolsheviks. He was later canonised, a wooden cross was mounted on his grave in 1995. In 1939, the Catherine Cathedral was destroyed, a park was laid out on its territory.
