Architecture

The style is the so-called Bulgarian National Romantic.

The design was the work of the Austrian architect F. Grunanger. The church consists of a central cathedral building with a narthex. The plan is rectangular. The chapel is octagonal, with four conchi at the oblique angles and rectangular rooms between them. They are separated from the hall by arcades, and above them is a women's section. The main chandelier, weighing two tons, is noteworthy and is the largest in Bulgaria.

The altar stands on a podium of white marble, with an exquisite parapet. The hall seats 1,170 people. It is covered by an octagonal dome with a lantern (20 m in diameter and a total height of 31 m). It forms a stylistic unity with the four smaller comels on the conchi and the eight small towers with comel-like caps. The facades are richly decorated with architectural details, plastic ornaments, and stone carvings, and the interior with works of applied art.
