Kusnoantichen khram-rotonda “Sveti Georgi”
A hidden gem in the heart of Sofia, the Church of St. George is a treasure for history buffs and travelers looking for tranquility! 🇧🇬
Hidden in the courtyard of the Bulgarian Presidential Palace, surrounded by modern architecture, it seems as if time has stopped here. This red-brick circular church is one of the oldest existing buildings in Sofia, dating back to the 4th century AD! 😱 The frescoes inside are faded and old, but each stroke tells a thousand-year story.
The church is small, but it has an old-fashioned and sacred atmosphere, making you cautious as you walk and feel the traces of history. The sunlight streaming in through the small windows adds mysterious colors to the old frescoes.
If you love exploring the traces of history or are looking for a quiet place in the middle of a bustling city, St. George's Church will never disappoint.
