Hagia Triada also known as Sancta Trinitas (English: Basilica of the Holy Trinity near the Augustaion), officially named Sancta Trinitas Basilica Augustaeum, is the one of the leading cathedrals of the Mesogeian patriarchate, located in Alexandropolis, Mesogeia. It was famed for its huge marble dome, that was decorated with frescos of Christ and the saints.
From the date of the buildings completion in 522, to the present the cathedral as served as the seat of the Mesogeian Orthodox church. The current church of the Holy Trinity was the third church of the same name to occupy the site, the previous one having been utterly destroyed by rioters during a revolt against the rule of Constantine I. While the cathedral is arguably of upmost importance to the church, being the site of imperial weddings, baptisms, christian celebrations, and other court ceremonies, it does not play a role in the coronation ceremony, an event that has taken place in Troiana, at Our Lady of the Pantheon for thousands of years.
It should be noted that while the Pantheon cathedral is the site of the coronation of the sovereign as Emperor of Mesogeia, every reigning monarch is also crowned Basileus of the Danaeans at the cathedral in a separate ceremony.
