What to see in Bulgaria? Of course, in your travels you can not ignore the main Sofia Cathedral named after Alexander Nevsky. Our contemporaries find the complex architecture of the structure astonishing. Impressive and in its own way majestic cathedral is capable to accept simultaneously 5 000 believers.
The foundation of the cathedral is associated with the 19th century. In 1882 the first stone was solemnly laid on the site of the future construction. The event coincided with the liberation of Bulgaria in the Russian-Turkish war. But construction work began only in the early 20th century. Consecration of the cathedral took place in 1912.

To go to Bulgaria and not see the wine museum is not to see all the attractions in Bulgaria. It is located next to the artificial reservoir in Pleven. The entrance to the museum is made in a colorful manner. It is as if it is cut out in a cave.
Heavy stylish grates protect the windows in the manner of a medieval castle. The arch leading inside is made of rough-hewn stones. And in fact, the structure meets all modern engineering requirements.

The oldest cathedral in Sofia is the rotunda of St. George, erected as early as the 4th century on the site of the ancient Serdica. For many years the church was a baptistery, and in the 16th century, when Bulgaria came under the dominion of the Turks, the Muslims converted it into a mosque. After those lands were reclaimed, the Christian temple was restored, and a major restoration found unique early Christian frescoes on the walls, later painted over by Muslims. Today the rotunda has become a museum, but even today services are regularly held there. It is a brick building with narrow, high windows, six semicircular annexes, and inside it are ancient frescoes over which, just over a century ago, intricate Muslim patterns were painted. Today, the rather ascetic rotunda stands out spectacularly against the background of Sofia's modern structures, inspiring awe with its venerable age.
