Dome with a golden cross and carved drum of the church above the rounded lines of the roof.

The roof and dome of the church, stone cladding, and relief decor — all in one RADEKA project. The photo gallery shows the delivery and lifting of the dome, the work of craftsmen on the rounded roof sections, the installation of the plinth, and the facade decoration. Close-ups allow you to examine the connections of the metal covering, the texture of the stone, and architectural details.
