A chapel in the upper floor is dedicated to St. Nicholas, a great Christian miracle-worker. A chapel in the ground floor is dedicated to St.Alexander, Prince Nevsky. The main entrance to the Cathedral boasts a mosaic icon of the Resurrection of Christ, which was made in Venice and brought to Russia.
