St. Sophia's Cathedral Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The 11th-century St. Sophia's Church is a very famous Orthodox cathedral in Kyiv, and its design is comparable to that of St. Sophia's Church in Constantinople. The cathedral adopts the Baroque architectural style, and the range includes a cathedral with a golden green roof, a bell tower and a monastery. The entire building complex was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1990. After the completion of Saint Sophia Church, it quickly became the religious and cultural center of Kievan Rus. There are also many archaeological artifacts and architectural models on display here, among which the panoramic model of Kyiv from the 10th century shows the city of Kyiv before it was destroyed by the Mongol invaders. A library has also been established here.

place - must see in Kiev. beautiful ancient church is placed almost in downtown, so easy to find. you need to pay to enter inside, like 20 hrn. but if you want to come inside the church its going to be a bit expensive. there are a lot of benches around the park, where you can rest. also you can find a souvenir place there, where you can buy some magnets or other stuff
This is the oldest and normally open church in Kiev Ross in the 9th century, the residence of the wise prince Yaroslav. We also visited the panoramic view of the bell tower, a main square in Kiev, and the monument to Bergdan Khmelnytsky.
Although the churches are similar, for the Orthodox Church, Greece is the leader, and the next should be Russia and Ukraine. The history and scale are relatively large. Kiev is very beautiful and glittering, and the interior is solemn and gorgeous! Unfortunately, I can't go for two years.
Beautiful historical spot, must visit !
Saint Sophia Cathedral in downtown Kiev was built in the first half of the 11th century. During the transition period from the 17th century to the 18th century, it was renovated externally in accordance with the Ukrainian Baroque style. The interior of the church was preserved in the early 11th century and is the most complete collection of mosaics and wet murals in the world.
