A fine place of worship in a tranquil setting within Borisova Gradina. Light coloured hues enhance the varied and ornate facade. A fine space awaits within. The iconastasis is wonderful, extensive and containing vivid portraits of saints and prophets. A fabulous chandelier is suspended in the centre, with at least eight segments ornamented with gilt and adorned with holy images. It is part of, and in the grounds of, the Sofia Theological Seminary to which the general public does not have access.

Located at the foot of Mt. Vitosha, Bojana Church is about 900 years old. The church houses the National Museum, which focuses on regional history, art and cultural artifacts.

If you manage to make it up the hill, this church is well worth the journey and 10 Lev entrance fee. The interior has amazing 13th century frescos. Note that the visitor numbers are limited to 8 at any time as space is limited plus they are probably trying to preserve the frescos by controlling humidity levels. You are only permitted to stsy for 10 mins. The grounds are pleasant with benches and plenty of birds( I saw a woodpecker). If you are making your own way there you can combine this visit with the National History museum nearby. We did this by taking trolley bus 2 from the centre to its final stop over the road from the museum. From here you can walk 30 mins up to the church or take bus 107 which goes to the church entrance.

A Bulgarian Orthodox cathedral in Sofia (Bg). Built in Neo-Byzantine style, it serves as the cathedral church of the Patriarch of Bulgaria and it is one of the largest Christian church buildings, as well as one of Sofia's symbols and primary tourist attractions. There is a museum of Bulgarian icons inside the cathedral crypt, part of the National Art Gallery.

This church has an amazing history and is built on an old Roman necropolis. It is well worth taking the time to watch the video of the history of the church in order to really appreciate it and to have a wander among the ancient tombs underneath.

Sofia is highly Christian based, so there are many beautiful churches almost every block.st. Nikolai is not just another one but the unusual pattern unlike the others that has similar appearances ..this one to me is more of a modern age look and beautifully and designed. Lovely garden adds to the beauty of this really outstanding church.
