The cathedral occupies an area of 3,170 square metres (34,100 sq ft) and can hold 10,000 people inside. It is the second biggest cathedral on the Balkans after the Cathedral of Saint Sava in Belgrade.

Iconic, beautiful church is a must-see sight for any visitor to Sofia. In many ways, more impressive outside than in, but still worth sticking your head In for a few peaceful minutes!

This huge Orthodox temple was built during the euphoria after Bulgaria was freed from Turkish control. A century of smoking candles gives its ornate frescoes the semblance of faded medieval survivors

Second biggest cathedral in the Balkan. No doubts that it's and amazing place for visit. It has free entrance. Also inside is so beautiful.
