Saint George Rotunda Church, Eastern Orthodox church building in central Sofia, Bulgaria
The red brick cylindrical structure features a circular domed design rising 13.70 meters high, with thick walls supporting the central rotunda space.
Built in the 4th century during Constantine the Great's reign, the church initially functioned as part of a larger Roman complex in ancient Serdica.
Three distinct layers of frescoes decorate the interior dome, including 22 prophets measuring over two meters tall from different historical periods.
The church stands several meters below current street level between Hotel Balkan and the Presidency, with guided tours explaining its architectural features.
The building maintained continuous usage through centuries, transforming from Roman baths to Christian church to mosque and back to Orthodox church.
