Review & FAQ:

The Square of Religious Tolerance is located in the heart of Sofia and is home to four places of worship for four major religions within a short walk of each other. These are the Sveti Yosif (Saint Joseph) Catholic Cathedral, the Saint Nedelya Orthodox Church, the Synagogue, and the Banya Bashi Mosque, each of which has its own rich history, character, congregations, and equally respected. The synagogue is the biggest Sephardic temple in Europe; the Banya Bashi Mosque was once part of the public baths complex; the Sveti Yosif Catholic Cathedral was destroyed during WW2 and was only recently rebuilt, and the Sveta Nedelya Orthodox Church was damaged by assault by the Communist Party in 1925.
