st. sophia cathedral印象

Having been completed in 1050 the St. Sophia Cathedral or Cathedral of Holy Wisdom is one of the oldest churches in Russia still in use.The cathedral is obviously an important spiritual centre of the city in addition to being a major tourist attraction. During our visit the number of people attending it for religious reasosn seemed to match the number of tourists.The cathedral has a massive and constant feel to it, no doubt as a result of the very robust architecture. The white walls and metal cuppolas makes it stand out against a blue sky. Inside the cathedral is dark and heavily decorated in the typical orthodox style.

Certainly a peaceful place....words can only describe the soothing beauty of the place. A good time to visit would be in between winter and spring...when the cool crisp air and clear blue skies makes it a wonderful experience. Spend at least 1-2 hours to savour the beautyof this UNESCO heritage site...after a long 2.5 hours drive from Tyumen. Dive into the history and rich culture of the city.

Very nice atmosphere in such old place like Sophia Cathedral. It is amaizing frescas on the walls, many historicaly important people's relics and of course miracle icon of Our Lady of Sign. Dont miss Sigtuna gates, stolen from Sweden 800 years ago. it is the oldest church preserved in Russia and it is worth to take a look on it.

There is two St. Sophias in old Russia. One is situated in Kiev, another in Novgorod. It almost like it was in old times, and this is working church. Only imagine that you can pray in the place where so many orthodox saints were!Another interesting thing that almost all don't know is about graffiti in the lowest level of the church. Go down stairs and look carefully (if you know russian) on the walls. There you can see glagolic (not kirillic) letters too. But better find some one who know about it. This is the level of quality of excurtion must be.

The guardians did not appreciate photographs and were fairly cautios of letting anyone near the Icons

Sure, St. Sophia Cathedral is not the most visually appealing cathedral in the spectrum of cathedrals in Russia, but it certainly has its own simple charm. Located inside the Novgorod Kremlin and across the street from the kremlin's plaza and and the Millennium of Russia monument, St. Sophia Cathedral is the frequently pictured cathedral of Veliky Novgorod and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's beautifully kept on both the inside and outside, and if you are lucky enough to stumble on a religious event as I was, it certainly makes the visit worth it. Ladies, remember to bring your head covering, and enjoy the cathedral!

Still active today, a really neat place to see. Just try and be respectful as there are locals who are in the cathedral praying....oh and don't take any pictures inside. Very neat place to see.

It is a beautiful cathedral with beautiful ceilings, murals, frescos, altar. There are a few coffins too.

The ancients said where St. Sophia Cathedral is situated there Velikiy Novgorod is.St. Sophia Cathedral is the oldest one in Russia. It is one thousand years of Russain history made in stone. Cathedral is carefully renovated and open for visiting. Pay attention to the western door and small bird on the top of bulbous cupola. This bird stone bird has mistery story that you can study visiting this magnificant place.

Worth the view every time, worth the drive, worth the effort to get here. If you love Russian History - this is a must. It is one of the oldest Cathedral and Kremlins in Russia. The city of Novgorod is full of old churches, in differing states of ruin. Come and take the time to see the Cathedral, be sure to go to the back part of the Cathedral, where an older, more ancient section of the Cathedral can be seen. I always forget to bring a scarf for my head to go into the Cathedral - this year I'm determined not to. Once you finish there - walking around the Kremlin - be sure to go to the far section to see the river embankment - stunning! Then make your way back to the open air market in front of the Kremlin Entrance - and shop those amazing handmade birch items for sale. Stop at the adorable wooden restaurant at the square - so traditional and the blini are outrageously delicious! I'll see you there...
