The capital of Bulgaria, Sofia, is a beautiful city with famous Sofia churches and lavender manor houses, Bulgaria is an important country in the Balkans and a must-visit place for Eastern Europe tourism.
The Church of Saint Sophia is the second oldest church in Sophia, dating back to the 6th century. In the 14th century, the city of Sophia was named after the Church of Saint Sophia. The Church of Saint Sophia was built on the basis of several original churches. In the 2nd century AD it was a Roman theater. Now the main house, as well as two towers and a domed tower on the east side, was built during the reign of Justin I of Byzantine Kings in the mid-6th century. One of the most precious early church buildings in southeastern Europe, the church floors are intricately decorated with early Christian or mosaic patterns of flowers and animals, and the ground and surrounding areas are covered with tombs that were earlier than the church was built. It is believed that the Church of Saint Sophia has been protected by mysterious forces, and has not been damaged by human aggression and natural disasters for centuries, and is a representative of the elegant, simple, symmetrical beauty of the building.
Very spectacular, as soon as I walked in, compared to the magnificent building, I felt really small. I liked the Hagia Sophia in Harbin. I came to Istanbul and felt a different Hagia Sophia, the same name, different beauty.
It should be seen every day in Sofia, and it is still a magnificent building, especially when you walk up to the front and look up
A small church made out of bricks. It is located very close to the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral
The city name Sofia comes from here. It was a church with a simple but majestic atmosphere. You can visit the underground ruins by paying the entrance fee. It was a small and slightly oppressive ruin.
