Where did Saint Sophia live?

Answer 1 We do not know when, where or if she lived. She seems to be more allegorical than an actual person.Answer 2 Saint Sophia was not a real person. As far as history can tell.The Saint Sophia Cathedral in Kiev, Ukraine, was inspired by the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul).Hagia Sophia is roughly translated as "Holy Wisdom". It's not (as we are aware of) named after a woman called Sophia.The Saint Sophia Cathedral is not the only religious building to be inspired by the Hagia Sophia.
