Why it's on the map
Saint Sophia Greek Orthodox Cathedral (in Greek: Ἁγία Σοφία, Hagia Sophia) is a Greek Orthodox church built in 1952, in what was then the Greek section of Central Los Angeles, California.
When Charles Skouras and his brothers, Spyros Skouras and George Skouras, were still trying to get ahead in Hollywood, Charles made a vow to God that he would build the "most majestic cathedral if God would grant him success in show business." He became head of Fox West Coast, so he built the Saint Sophia in Los Angeles.
