Lonely Planet review for St Sophia’s Cathedral
The interior is the most astounding aspect of Kyiv’s oldest standing church, St Sophia’s Cathedral. Many of the mosaics and frescoes are original, dating back to 1017–31, when the cathedral was built to celebrate Prince Yaroslav’s victory in protecting Kyiv from the Pechenegs, tribal raiders.
