Saint Sophia's Cathedral

Just across Saint Michael's cathedral is Saint Sophia's cathedral. How convenient, isn't it?
We walked the 500m between the 2 and before entering the 2nd monastery we were surrounded by some "biomen". 4 men dressed in colored outfit were walking the square and playing with the people passing by. They quickly spotted Michele and started to revere her. It was funny for 1 minute and after she struggled to get rid of them. They might have been dressed colorfully but couldn't speak a word of English. The monastery turned out to be our refuge.
Same feeling as in the first one, peaceful atmosphere.
Not as beautiful as the Saint Michael's one, Saint Sophia's cathedral is still quite impressive even if more simple in the style. We got lucky as the sun was shining just on top of it refecting in the golden domes.
