Saint Sophia's Cathedral and the metropolitan's house

Yesterday me and a group of the ilp teachers went to Saint Sophia's Cathedral. It was absolutely beautiful and I was surprised to hear that there's lots of the original mosaics and paintings from the 11th century. We were unable to photograph anything in the inside because if we did we would ruin the oil paintings and murals.

The metropolitan house

A very neat room in the metropolitan house with domed ceilings and very neat painted murals all over!

The men who lived in the metropolitan house

Some very neat chairs from that time period

A fire place that is made up of mosaics

Saint Michael's Cathedral which is a few blocks away from Saint Sophia's Cathedral
