Overview of Sitka, Alaska 99835
|
Sitka was the seaside capital of Russian America
and a visit here is like stepping back in time to the 18th
century. Visit St. Michael's
Cathedral, one of the finest examples of rural Russian architecture.
Stroll through the town's quaint shops and enjoy performances of
Russian dancing. All of this entertaining history is presented under
the shadow of stately Mt. Edgecumbe, a 3,201-foot-high, Mt.Fuji-like
extinct volcano.
Totem designs are found in artwork through this city, including
Sitka National Historical Park, and in local museums and
galleries. As the cultural and political hub of Russian America
in the early 19th century, Sitka was known as the "Paris
of the Pacific." Downtown strollers today can see St.
Michael's Cathedral, an active Russian Orthodox church whose
onion-shaped domes have graced the Sitka skyline for 150
years, and other National Historical Landmarks.
