Church of the Assumption

The stone structure combines elements of Ottoman and Byzantine architecture with large domes and intricate geometrical patterns adorning its exterior walls and interior spaces.

Originally constructed as a mosque under Ottoman rule, the building was transformed into an Eastern Orthodox church and consecrated in 1906 following Bulgaria's liberation.

The church stands as a symbol of religious transformation in Bulgaria, reflecting the architectural and spiritual changes that occurred during the post-Ottoman period.

Visitors can access the church through the main entrance on the western facade, where traditional Orthodox religious services take place regularly.

The building represents the work of Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan, whose architectural expertise shaped the structure's original design as a mosque.
