Inside the cathedral you will find yourself in a labyrinth of corridors and chapels ornately decorated with a technique called "pod kirpich", or "fake brick" that recreates the effect of a brick wall, alternating with rich seventeenth-century floral decorations that extend to the vaults. The resulting style is unmistakable and represents a unique example of Russian architecture.
