Orthodox cathedrals are places of worship in the Eastern Orthodox Church, characterized by their distinctive architectural styles. They often feature domes, intricate frescoes, and iconography that depict religious figures and events. These cathedrals serve as spiritual centers for the community and are often the site of important religious ceremonies. The interiors of Orthodox cathedrals are typically adorned with ornate decorations, including icons and mosaics. The layout usually includes a central nave, with an altar area that is often separated by a screen called the iconostasis. This design reflects the importance of tradition and the sacredness of worship in Orthodox Christianity.
