A
Voznesenskaya Church
Olde-worlde charm continues up cobbled ul Bakunina (named for the 19th-century ‘father of anarchy’ who studied in Tomsk) towards the Voznesenskaya Church. This Gothic edifice with five gold-tipped black spires has great potential as a Dracula movie set. A truly massive bell hangs in its new lurid-pink belfry.
