    i couldn't add the real location so I added my office. This step is about the Cathedral of Aegina , It is the first Cathedral of Modern Free Greece, three-aisled with three red domes. In the Metropolitan church, the Aegineans welcomed the governor Kapodistrias on January 11, 1828, and a few days later, on 28 January, Kapodistrias’ inauguration ceremony was held as the first Governor of the Greek State and the Panhellenic Council that constituted the interim Governmental committee.
