Cathedral of St. Alexis of Moscow

Ancient settlement of Afrasiab

Built in the Neo-Russian style for a military unit at the beginning of the last century. It was consecrated in 1912 and was named after the metropolitan. The green arch above the entrance and the roof of the same color stand out against the walls of the cathedral. After the revolution the premises were given to the military. The dome and bell tower were destroyed. Later it housed a branch of the local history museum. In 1996, the church was returned to the ROC, and the re-consecration was conducted by Patriarch Alexy II.
