Seven Saints Church, Eastern Orthodox church building in central Sofia, Bulgaria
The Seven Saints Church features a central hall with a large dome, combining Ottoman architectural elements with Bulgarian Orthodox design characteristics throughout its structure.
Originally constructed as a mosque in 1528 under Suleiman the Magnificent, the building transformed into an Orthodox church in 1901 after Bulgaria gained independence.
The church honors seven revered figures who developed the Slavic alphabet: Saints Cyril, Methodius, and their disciples Gorazd, Clement, Naum, Angelar, and Sava.
Located at coordinates 42.6897N, 23.3278E, the brick building opens daily for services and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its architectural and religious elements.
The church's candlesticks were crafted from old police badges of Eastern Rumelia, while its 1930s electric clock continues to function in the present day.
