A striking feature of the city of Omsk, in southern Russia, is the grand and colorful Dormition Cathedral.

This structure boasts a gleaming white exterior and shiny blue and gold domes, typical of Russian architecture.

These features add to the majesty of the cathedral as both a place of worship and historical monument.

The original Dormition Cathedral was built in the late nineteenth century, designed in the Russian Revival Style.
