Saint Isaac's Cathedral is the largest Russian Orthodox cathedral in the city, dedicated to St. Isaac of Dalmatia. It was ordered by Tsar Alexander I in order to replace an earlier structure, and was the forth consecutive church standing at that same place. The cathedral took 40 years to construct, under Montferrand's direction, from 1818 to 1858.
