Description
The Church of the Divine Wisdom in Kyiv is one of Ukraine's oldest and most important religious monuments. Dating back to the 11th century, the temple impresses with its 13 distinctive domes and priceless Byzantine frescoes and mosaics, including the famous 6-meter 'Oranta' mosaic depicting the Virgin Mary.
The interior of the sobor hides real treasures of medieval art, and a partially preserved iconostasis from 1747 completes the artistic impression.
The UNESCO-listed site is an excellent excursion point for lovers of history, architecture and spirituality.
