Saints Borys and Hlib Cathedral, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Chernihiv, Ukraine
The cathedral exhibits a cruciform layout with three naves, three apses, and features distinctive ceramic decorations along its stone facades, measuring 25 meters in height.
Built between 1120 and 1123, the cathedral served as both a religious center and burial site for Chernihiv princes during the medieval period of Kievan Rus.
The interior contains light-colored frescoes and original silver Royal Gates from the 17th-century iconostasis, representing Eastern Orthodox artistic traditions.
Located at coordinates 51°29'21"N, 31°18'25"E, the cathedral maintains regular opening hours for religious services and guided tours of its historical architecture.
