Lonely Planet review for Uspensky (Assumption) Cathedral

South of pl Konstytutsiyi on vul Universytetska is the Uspensky (Assumption) Cathedral with its landmark, 19th-century bell tower (89.5m tall). This church is now used only as a concert hall; ask your hotel about tickets.

The park across the street offers the best vantage point of the striking red-and-cream striped Blahoveshchensky Cathedral (1881-1901) down in the valley on pl Karla Marksa. Based on Istanbul's Hagia Sophia, the cathedral has a beautifully proportioned bell tower resembling a stick of candy.
