The history of the cathedral is quite interesting and captivating. Depending on the global political situation, it has come under various authorities.

Собор Александра Невского считается главной православной русской церковью. Он был построен на взносы частных лиц. Храм возведен в византийском стиле, а внутри украшен изысканными фресками, иконами и мозаикой. Собор относится к излюбленным религиозным строениям русских эмигрантов. Кстати, здесь отпевали знаменитого художника Кандинского, И.Бунина, А.Тарковского. А еще в храме венчались Пикассо и танцовщица Ольга Хохлова.
