St Nicholas the Miracle-Maker, Russian Orthodox church in central Sofia, Bulgaria.

The Church of Saint Nicholas features five golden domes, multicolored tiles on its exterior, and traditional Russian Revival architectural elements throughout its structure.

Construction began in 1907 on the former site of Saray Mosque, and the church was consecrated in 1914 as the official place of worship for the Russian Embassy.

The interior murals, created by Vasily Perminov and his team, display Russian Orthodox religious art that reflects the spiritual traditions of early 20th century Russia.

Located on Tsar Osvoboditel Boulevard, the church welcomes visitors every day from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM to explore its architectural details and religious significance.

The underground crypt contains the tomb of Saint Archbishop Seraphim, where visitors leave written prayer requests beside his final resting place.
