Review:
The second oldest church in Bulgaria's capital, Sofia, the Saint Sofia Church dates all the way back to the 6th century. It was actually because of the church that the city changed its name to Sofia; it was called Sredets prior to that. Visitors will be able to explore the beautiful church, which is built in Byzantine style on the site of former places of worship. What visitors see today is the fifth structure to be built here and includes two east towers and a one tower cupola. The floor is covered in mosaics, while icons of historical saints can be found within the basilica. The stunning marvel pays homage to Bulgaria's architecture of that age and is a site that visitors will enjoy.
