It was the first church of this kind built in South America. It is located in front of Parque Lezama, this Muscovite-style building from the 17th century was inaugurated in 1904 based on the original project of an architect from the Russian Holy Synod and it was directed by the architect Alejandro Christophersen. All the the pieces of this church were brought from St. Petersburg, and the most outstanding ones are the stained glass in its interior and its windows, the five turquoise domes and the great mural on its front, which was made completely with Venetian tiles and that represents the Holy Trinity.
