And the Trinity Cathedral on its territory is an ornament and a spiritual embodiment. For centuries, the cathedral has been considered a shrine and the center of Pskov's public life.
The most important ancient charters, princely seals and state valuables were kept here. To the north of the cathedral, food supplies, weapons, gunpowder, and armor were stored in barns and cellars.
The main relic and indisputably the decoration of the cathedral is a unique seven-level iconostasis. The golden patterned lace of the iconostasis next to the white ascetic walls of the cathedral creates an incredible contrast and a sense of purity and grandeur.
