The Romanov's

On my wonderings I just visited the point where the last Tsar Nicolas II and his family (of 7 plus their staff) we're executed by the Bolshevik's.

The house itself was demolished in 1975 and this wooden chapel built in it's place





It us also now the site of two modern cathedrals.

The Tsar and his family have since been canonised by the Russian Orthodox church and so the site is a holy place for Russians.

There you go a bit of a history lesson!!
