The church of Saint Mary Magdalene is situated on the slope of the Mount of Olives in the Garden of Gethsemane and is one of the most easily recognizable landmarks of Jerusalem. This striking example of Russian architecture was built in the Muscovite style with golden onion domes or cupolas.

It was built as a memorial to Empress Maria Alexandrovna by her son the Russian Czar Alexander III and his brothers. ( from

the contrast between golden dome and wall and deep green woods looks so prominent...people that built these church seems to appeal their existence strongly to the landscape itself.
thank you,
Akihisa
