Church of St Constantine and Helena, Eastern Orthodox church in central Plovdiv, Bulgaria
The Church of St Constantine and Helena stands with its brick walls and bell tower near the ancient Hisar Kapia gate in Plovdiv.
The original temple was built in 337 on the site of martyrdom of Saints Severin and Memnos, who were executed with 38 others in 304.
The church interior contains frescoes by Stefan Andonov and Atanas Gyudzhenov, completed between 1864 and 1866, along with icons from multiple centuries.
The church welcomes visitors from 8:00 to 20:00 during summer months and 8:00 to 17:30 in winter, with regular services conducted by appointed priests.
The Vienna-made iconostasis features Baroque elements with gilded decorations, while the first row of icons bears the signature of Bulgarian painter Zahari Zograf.
