Nativity of Mary Church, Orthodox cathedral in Bolyarska district, Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria.
The cathedral features three nartexes, marble tile floors, and a stone bell tower positioned 30 meters west of the main building.
Master builder Kolyo Ficheto constructed the original church between 1842 and 1844, which was later destroyed by an earthquake in 1913.
The interior frescoes from 1954 depict important Bulgarian historical events, including the baptism of the Bulgarian people and the literary School of Teodosie.
The cathedral maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors throughout the year, with proper dress code required for entry.
Russian bells adorning the cathedral contain inscriptions commemorating the crossing of the Danube by Russian liberation forces during the nineteenth century.
