A real highlight. A must-see.

The St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is a memorial church built by the Bulgarian people in memory of the thousands of Russian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Moldovan, Finnish, and Romanian soldiers who died in 1877-1878 during the liberation of Bulgaria from Ottoman rule. In honorable memory!

Architecture The first church had three naves, with three bell towers resting on eight-sided drums, and two bell towers. The church is surrounded on three sides by colonnades with arches topped with semicircular domes. After the liberation from Ottoman rule, Prince Dondukov-Korsakov presented the church with eight bells. A new bell tower was built for them outside the church building, facing southeast. In 1898, the church was rebuilt by the architect N. Lazarov.

The church is believed to have been built in the 10th century and, like other Sofia churches of the time, had a stone base and a wooden structure above it. In the second half of the 14th century, these wooden churches were made of stone. It is unknown why only the Hagia Nedelja remained wooden, and the church continued to exist in this form until the mid-19th century. In 1578, the German traveler Stefan Gerlach visited Sofia and provided a list of Sofia's twelve churches. Among them was the church with the Greek name Kiriaki. In the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century, the church was also called Sveti Kral (Holy King) because it housed the relics of the Serbian King Stefan Milutin Urosh II, who had healing powers. The church suffered damage in the great earthquake of 1858, and in the early 1850s, the Sofia Diocese and the city parish built a new church in its place, designed by Master Ivan Bojanin, with funds raised by the Christian citizens of Sofia. Until the construction of the St. Alexander Nevsky Church monument, Hagia Nedelya Church was a cathedral. Exarch Joseph I is buried in the southern part. After the destruction of Hagia Nedelya Church as a result of the communist terrorist act against the Tsarist family on April 16, 1925, a competition for its restoration was announced. The competition was won by the architects I. Vasilyov and Dimitur Tsolov. It was completed in 1931 and solemnly consecrated two years later. The new building had five domes and a dominant bell tower on the west side. The exterior was decorated with rows of red tiles. The surrounding land was relocated to a lower level, placing the building on a terrace accessible via a stone staircase. The church, restored according to a design by the architects Vasilyov and Tsolov, is a single-room building with a kul dominating the entire naos. The bell tower rises above the vestibule. The exterior of the church is faced with tuff stone.

The Vasil Levski National Stadium (Bulgarian: Национален стадион "Васил Левски" Nazionalen stadion "Васил Левски") is a football stadium with an athletics track and field facility in the Bulgarian capital Sofia. With 43,632 seats, it is the largest stadium in the country.[1] The venue was intended to host the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2014 Winter Olympics, for which Bulgaria failed to bid in 2006.
