Holy Trinity Cathedral, Ruse, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Ruse, Bulgaria.

The Holy Trinity Cathedral features a three-nave pseudo-basilica design measuring 31.20 meters in length and 15.60 meters in width, with two rows of seven columns.

The cathedral's construction in 1632 during Ottoman rule required the building to be positioned four meters below ground level to comply with strict regulations of that time.

The cathedral houses an iconostasis crafted between 1805 and 1807, displaying religious artworks that represent Eastern Orthodox traditions and Bulgarian religious heritage.

The cathedral maintains regular Orthodox services and welcomes visitors to explore its underground structure, which includes ancient catacombs dating from the fifth century.

The hexagonal bell tower contains five bells and incorporates stones from the demolished Ruschuk fortress, rising 19 meters above the cathedral grounds.
