St Nedelya Church

St Nedelya Church is an Eastern Orthodox cathedral located in central Sofia, constructed in Byzantine Revival style with brick as the primary material. The structure measures 30 meters in length and 15.5 meters in width, forming a prominent presence in the Sredets District.

The site has roots dating back to 901, though the current building was constructed much later during an extensive building period. The present structure was completed in 1867 and has remained a landmark in Sofia since then.

The cathedral serves as a central place of worship for Orthodox believers in Sofia and hosts regular services and celebrations throughout the year. People gather here for major religious holidays and important life events.

The cathedral is centrally located in Sofia and easily accessible by various forms of public transportation. Its central location makes it convenient for visitors to include in their city exploration.

The cathedral's gilded iconostasis survived a devastating incident in 1925 that damaged the structure. Despite subsequent restoration work, this religious artwork remained remarkably intact through the years.
