The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is an Eastern Orthodox church in Saint Petersburg, Russia, built in the Russian Revival style from 1883 to 1907 to a design by Alfred Parland. Constructed of brick and rising 81 metres, it stands on the site where Narodnaya Volya members assassinated Emperor Alexander II in March 1881. The Romanov imperial family funded it in his honour, and today it serves as both a church and a secular museum.
