St Paul of the Cross Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Ruse, Bulgaria

The cathedral exhibits a brick Gothic design with a prominent bell tower reaching 29 meters in height and features detailed architectural elements on its facade.

The cathedral functions as the central church for the Latin Catholic Diocese of Nicopoli and honors Saint Paul of the Cross, founder of the Passionist congregation.

Located at Bishop Bossilkov Street 14 in Ruse, the cathedral maintains regular visiting hours and welcomes both worshippers and architectural enthusiasts.

The cathedral houses a 1907 pipe organ with Romantic sound characteristics, marking it as the sole instrument of this specification in Southeastern Europe.
