Holy Sophia Cathedral, Kyiv, Ukraine (UNESCO)
Don't you just have to love those colours? Well I do !!! A great postcard sent by Galina for a Postcrossing UNESCO Round Robin. The Holy Sophia Cathedral was inscribed into the UNESCO list in 1990, becoming the first Ukrainian World Heritage Site.
The name does not derive from Saint Sophia, but is rather connected to the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople (Istanbul), both their names meaning that the cathedral/mosque is dedicated to the Holy Wisdom.
What I also love about this postcard is the wonderful rubber stamp. You don't see them all that often anymore.
Thank you a lot, Galina !!!
