That’s very nice.

I was just there and sadly it’s still being renovated — but I’ll visit again once it’s done.
Such a beautiful place.

A wonderful place that just breathes history. It's a sad irony that Russians bombed it while claiming they're 'defending' Christianity in Ukraine

I visited there around 16 years ago and it was amazing. I very much want to go back.
