“History is a witness of the past, the light of truth, the living memory, the teacher of life, the messenger of antiquity.”
— Cicero
The oldest cathedral in Kyiv, the largest collection of 11th-century mosaics and frescoes, the main church of Kievan Rus — it’s all about St. Sophia Cathedral, the living memory of our city. Founded in 1037 by Yaroslav the Wise, the cathedral survived the Mongol-Tatar invasion, the destruction of Kyiv by Crimean Khan Mengli I Giray, the revolution of 1917, and the Second World War. Today it stands as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most remarkable monuments of medieval Europe.
