Georgi Tsachev
Church of St Petka of the Saddlers.
The church is located in the center of Sofia.
The crypt of the church is a Roman tomb from the IV century, which means that there was a previous ceremonial building.
In the 11th century, the present temple was erected on the crypt.
The oldest preserved murals are from the fourteenth century, and above them there is a layer from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, by Pimen Zografski.
I love the stonework, the colors. Its very impressive
I remember this church before they make the underpass. He was half buried in the ground.
Wonderful photography…

Beautiful picture and great architecture
This is part of Sofia’s lagoon…

Thank you! Otherwise, the neighboring buildings are approximately 60 years old and are typical of copied Soviet architecture.
they kind of have that Soviet era look and feel. Nice picture!
