Vidin is an important religious centre. The proof for that statement is St. Dimitar - the second biggest church in Bulgaria after St. Alexander Nevski in Sofia. The dome is 33 meteres high. Absolute beauty and must-see.

Apart from Baba Vida's Fortress, St. Dimitar Cathedral can also be considered as one of the main symbols of Vidin. Both the exterior and the interior of the Church is quite interesting and charming, but also big when it comes to its overall size. One of the reasons to visit this Church, notwithstanding its beauty, is that it's the second biggest church in Bulgaria. Try not to miss this beautiful Cathedral!
