Saint Paraskeva Church, Bulgarian Orthodox church in central Sofia, Bulgaria.
The Saint Paraskeva Church features a circular hall measuring over 20 meters in diameter with reinforced concrete shell covering and surrounding apse bodies.
Construction of the church began after Anton Tornyov won a design competition in 1910, but wars delayed completion until 1930 with finishing work lasting until 1940.
The church contains artworks by notable Bulgarian artists including Stefan Ivanov, Marin Drinov, Dimitar Gjurzhenov, and Sergei Shishkov in its central iconostasis and side chapels.
The building stands at 58 Georgi Rakovski Street in Sofia, serving as the third largest church in the Bulgarian capital.
The structure's design excludes traditional columns and incorporates special domes that create perfect acoustics for choir performances.
