Next is the Palace turned into Hermitage Museum and the Palace Square. Other buildings follow, all enormous, all before the revolution, all beautiful and expensive for any era. We also stop at the Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood, a wonder of mosaic artistry. Buses and tourists crowd this area, construction and maintenance block parts of the church, and good photos are challenges.
