St. Sophia Cathedral is the religious building most important in Kremlin of Veliky Novgorod and provably in all Novgorod, a city located almost 200km to the South-East from Saint Petersburg. It is a very important historical city in Russia, so the Kremlin is wonderful. Inside the Kremlin, there are the Cathedral and other buildings. The Cathedral is a typical religious orthodox building: a white facade and some domes on too, the most important golden and the other ones blue. Also, in the inner hall of the cathedral, you can see fantastic frescos: the full building is wonderful. (see also Novgorod Kremlin)
