Sofia – transition between day and night.
Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Sofia.
The Neo-Byzantine style church serves as the cathedral church of the Patriarch of Bulgaria. While being one of the largest Eastern Orthodox cathedrals in the world, it is one of the greatest Sofia’s symbols.It is also a significant tourist attraction.
The temple is an impressive basilica with multiple domes, half-circles and small cylindrical vaults and a distinct central dome.
The bell tower with the cross is 53 m high and has 12 bells, outfitted and brought from Moscow. The largest weighs nearly 12 tonnes, and the smallest weighs 10 kg, with the total weight of all 23 tonnes.
Majestic, thank you so much for this excursion!!!
I promise to have other pictures : )))
that is some impressive architecture
At the beginning of the 20th century many buildings in Austro-Hungarian style were built in Sofia.
Awesome photography! We also have old churches in our places but I don’t think I saw one like this.
This is comparatively new – it was built between 1882 and 1912.
Wonderful photograph, thank you for sharing!
I’m glad you like it!!!
I have to watch this cathedral at the first opportunity
And inside is very beautiful!
How beautiful is this building Georgi.
Yes, it is the largest church in Bulgaria
Thank you for this informative text.
However, this city has more than 2500 years of history and has something to show : )))
I was on a tourist trip to Sofia twice and three times I went through Bulgaria while I was going to Greece.
