The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour was the main cathedral of the Samara diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church, located in Samara. Built between 1869 and 1894 in the neo-Byzantine style, it could accommodate up to 2,500 people. The design, featuring five domes and a high bell tower, combined Byzantine and Russian architectural elements and, according to some experts, influenced subsequent Orthodox church architecture. Construction was funded primarily by local merchants and residents.
Consecrated in 1894, the cathedral served as the diocesan center and burial site for Samara’s bishops until 1928, when it was transferred to the Renovationist movement and its functions were relocated. In 1930, the cathedral was closed. Plans to convert it into a cultural center were rejected, and it was dismantled—partly using explosives—for building materials. By mid-1932, the cathedral was demolished. A house of culture, now the Samara Opera and Ballet Theatre, was later built on the site.
In the early 21st century, proposals to reconstruct the cathedral were raised by local church and political figures but did not gain support from authorities or architectural experts.

The Sacred Heart Church is a Catholic church, of neogothic style located in the historic center of the city of Samara, Russia.
In 1902 it was decided to expand and build a church of red brick neo-Gothic style. At a cost of 80 thousand rubles, the project was entrusted to the Polish architect Bogdanovich, who built the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Moscow. Under the patronage of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, it was consecrated in February 1906. Its two towers of 47 m in height made it for a long time the tallest building in the city.
The parish was disbanded by the Soviet authorities in the 1920s. Later, they closed the church, and it was vandalised. In 1941, a regional museum was installed there.
In 1991, the Catholic community regained the church for worship.
