With stark white walls and a round intricate window greeting you above the entrance, walking into St. Sophia Greek Orthodox Church feels like you're going to church in Greece. The domes are green instead of the blue domes popular in the Greek Isles, but the architecture is still reminiscent of Greece. Inside, an elaborate altar with painted figures etched in gold provides a warm hue to the entire congregational area. The cathedral serves as the home for the Greek Community of Los Angeles which was incorporated in 1908 and had many worship locations before putting down roots with St. Sophia.
