Small church built on Roman ruins in the century, near the palace of Constantine the Great.

This small church, hemmed in between government buildings and the Sofia Balkan Palace (ex-Sheraton), is a miraculous vestige, built on 4th-century Roman ruins in the vicinity of Constantine the Great's palace. In the 16th century, during the reign of Sultan Selim I, the church was converted into a mosque, before being used as a museum after liberation in the 19th century. The walls of the small rotunda are decorated with frescoes dating from the 10th to 14th centuries.

Ca détonne!
C'est vrai qu'elle détonne au beau milieu de ces immeubles la toute petite église et c'est bien ça (au delà de l'aspect historique indéniable) qui fait son charme! Un des endroits les plus originaux de la capitale bulgare!

La meilleure curiosité de Sofia, qui permet de se rendre compte d'à quel point la ville peut être insolite. Étonnant de voir cette petite église ronde coincée entre les grands murs du palais présidentiel !

petite eglise entourée de vestiges romains , le plus étonnant est son emplacement au milieu de bâtiments administratifs

Originale cette église; de part son emplacement déjà et son architecture ensuite. Nous y sommes tombé en pleine messe et le côté mystique était au rendez-vous

More than the church itself, it is its location which is original! This very round church is located in the courtyard postpones common Presidency and Sheraton hotel. It is surrounded by roman ruins.
