Katholikon of the Antoniev Monastery
Katholikon of the Antoniev Monastery, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Veliky Novgorod, Russia
The Cathedral of the Nativity features three high apses, a central dome, and red ochre drawings on the walls of its tower staircase.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1117 under Saint Anthony and was consecrated by Bishop John of Novgorod in 1119.
The cathedral walls preserve fragments of frescoes from 1125, displaying figures against dark blue backgrounds with bright yellow halos.

The cathedral represents one of only three surviving buildings from ancient Rus period that remain standing in modern Russia.
