Saint George Church, Veliko Tarnovo, Eastern Orthodox church building in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria
Saint George Church demonstrates medieval Bulgarian architecture with detailed frescoes depicting biblical scenes and Greek inscriptions above the entrance.
The church, constructed in 1230 during the Second Bulgarian Empire period, was established through donations from Kir Paraskev and Irina.
The temple porch contains two painting layers showing the Creation of the World and Last Judgment themes with prophet Elijah and Enoch figures.
Between 1968 and 1971, architect Boyan Kuzupov managed extensive restoration works to preserve the structural integrity of the building.
The entrance inscription combines Greek text with traditional Orthodox architectural elements, representing the cultural exchange in medieval Bulgaria.
