The grandiose cathedral is located on a hill, from there you can enjoy a beautiful view of the city and the confluence of two rivers. It was built in 1743-1777 as a Uniate church. During the construction, the Basilica of San Carlo al Corso in Rome was taken as a model. Since 1799, it has been an Orthodox cathedral. It was blown up and destroyed to the ground in 1936 and completely rebuilt from 2001 to 2011. There is a staircase leading from the embankment to the cathedral, there are many steps, but it is worth climbing. You can see a beautiful sunset

Of course it's great. But what surprised me and my loved ones was that we were in the cathedral in the morning, with the morning service still, but where are the people? Literally five people, we were passing through, but I didn't expect so few people. The cathedral is beautiful, both inside and out. And while you climb the stairs, not everyone will be able to, but you can also go around from the other side, just right for an old man.. Whoever will be there, be sure to visit.

The temple, capable of accommodating up to two thousand people, more than 50 meters high, with 21 bells, the largest of which is more than 5 tons, opened in 2011. The first service was held here on the Annunciation.
And for a quarter of a century now, people have been going to the main temple of Vitebsk to pray to God, to worship the shrines for which the majestic cathedral is famous.
Among them, the most revered are the icon of the Mother of God "Assumption", painted by icon painters of the workshops of the Epiphany Kuteinsky Monastery in Orsha, icons with fragments of the relics of St. Euphrosyne of Polotsk, as well as Seraphim of Sarov, which was painted by Arzamas monks and presented by Metropolitan George of Nizhny Novgorod, as well as the icon of Sergius of Radonezh; images of the Mother of God of Orsha, locally venerated Saints Nicholas Okolovich and Vladimir Elenevsky. There is also an icon of Spyridon of Trimiphunt, the Wonderworker from the Meteora Monastery in Greece. She was consecrated on the island of Corfu on the relics of the saint and taken to Vitebsk.

I recently crossed a child, in general, it didn't go too badly.
My father was attentive, he told me what to do and when to do it.
Take an offering with you, this is a small towel that the priest wipes his hands with, I did not take it, I had to buy it locally.
From the nuances, the heater, which is aimed at keeping the kids warm, stopped working at some point, but it's good that it was there at all.
By the way, I quickly resuscitated him, just at the right moment, when the child was after ablution.

The cathedral is quite spacious.
If desired, you can retire.
Without a sound, the words of prayer are illegible.
There is a casket - a reliquary with fragments of many saints.

A gorgeous cathedral, very beautiful and majestic for unity with the Lord. There is an atmosphere, a special place.
I liked everything about the atmosphere and appearance, but the prices, even for candles, are very high. In the neighboring temples they are much lower. This is probably due to the influx of tourists.

Воздушный, легкий, утоннченный белый Собор с золотыми куполами. Его лекгость, это прежде всего расположение, на высоком берегу Западной Двины. 120 ступеней ведут вниз к реке. Новая набережная, как огранка к этому бриллианту. Вид на собор со ступеней, если немного спуститься вниз, необыкновенный. А вид с Задвинья, с протиповоположного берега, просто завораживает. На всех самых красивых фотографиях, открытках из Витебска, Вы будете видеть этот узнаваемый храм. Прогулка от него и далее по Старому городу, доставит удовольствие. Очень красиво, когда подсвечивается в вечернее время суток.

Расположен на очень красивом месте, высоком берегу реки. Вокруг - красивая площадь, рядом мостики. Это бывший базилианский монастырь (1743-1777), классика виленского барокко. Восстановлен храм был в 2011 году.

An incredible place that every person should visit, believers will be able to kiss the slipper of St. Spyridon of Trimifun, as well as look at the greatness of this temple. The upper and lower temples are part of the same complex.

Достопримечательность города, красивый собор расположенный на замковой горе. Бывшее место первого замка и опорного бастиона на реке. Старая крепость со множеством тайн и подземелий. Не так давно сделали удобную многоярусную лестницу к собору. Открывается красивый вид на город. Отличное место для совместного селфи.

В центре Витебска много храмов, этот самый большой из всех, имеет два уровня ( нижний и верхний храм). Расположен на горе, поэтому его видно издалека. Также от храма открывается прекрасный вид на город.

Великолепный собор. Оставил очень положительные впечатления. Всё предрасположено для людей. Для женщин есть и платки голову покрыть и если над повязки как юбки.
Внутри всё подскажут всё расскажут если спросите.
После посещения семьёй вышли с каким-то умиротворением и лёгкостью.
Обязательно посетите, не пожалеете.

Красивый собор в красивом месте Витебска, на возвышенности, в самом центре города. Внизу протекает Двина, рядом Духов монастырь, необыкновенный вид! Сам собор светлый, с историей, Чудесное место.

Побывав в этом месте, трудно давать оценку. Вдохновляет всё. И архитектура, и красота. И месторасположение храма. Красиво снаружи, божественно внутри. Тут нужно побывать, ощутить всё внутренне. Неописумая красота, могущество и таинство. Советую всем, хотя бы иногда посещать храм. Очистить душу, освободить разум,отдохнуть от суеты нашей.
