Serving as both the capital of Belarus and the headquarters of the Commonwealth of Independent States, Minsk is a hub of business and government. Although few older buildings survived WWII bombings and Stalinist construction projects, Belarusians are proud of their capital's long history and its continued cultural importance. The city boasts 16 museums, 11 theaters, and 139 libraries, including the National Library of Belarus, with collections housed in a towering glass geometric ball.

We visited this cathedral whilst in Minsk. There are no old buildings as the city was razed to the ground during WW2 This building has been faithfully restored and inside has a beautifl painted celing making it feel quit old. The Russians used this building as a resturant during their occupation as religions were banned. one church was used as a stable for horses! The locals were so joyful when they gained their independence and could worship freely once more.
