Saint George Basilica Church, 4th-century rotunda church in central Sofia, Bulgaria
The red brick circular structure rises from a square foundation, featuring a central dome and multiple niches in its corners.
Initially constructed as Roman baths, the building was transformed into a Christian church during the early 4th century within the walls of Serdica.
The interior walls display five layers of frescoes, including 4th-century Roman-Byzantine floral designs and 10th-century paintings of angels.
The church stands several meters below current street level in a courtyard between Hotel Balkan and the Presidential Palace.
During archaeological excavations, experts discovered remnants of a Roman street with drainage systems and foundations of a large basilica behind the apse.
