Orthodox cathedral
Byzantine Christian temple
An Orthodox cathedral is the principal church of a diocese in Eastern Orthodox Christianity, serving as the seat of a bishop and typically the largest or most important church in the region.
These cathedrals are known for their distinctive Byzantine architecture, featuring domed roofs, elaborate iconostases (icon screens separating the altar), and richly decorated interiors with frescoes and mosaics.
The Orthodox cathedral's golden domes gleamed in the morning light.
