Kiev - Saint Volodymyr Cathedral, Ukraine

Displayed:   times.

Saint Volodymyr Cathedral is situated on Boulevard Tarasa Shevchenka. This seven dome three-aisled church resembles the buildings of old Ukraine only slightly. Its walls are loaded with ornamental details. The interior is decorated in the style of Prince Vladimir's period. The main facade is decorated with a double door made of oxidized bronze with enamel, carving and openwork tracery. Inside the cathedral, the feeling is grand and spacious, light and richly painted, with splendid bronze ornaments, white marble walls and a marble floor. Despite the eclecticism felt in all the cathedral's decoration, this memorial is one of the more significant and characteristic examples of monumental art of the second half and end of the nineteenth century.
