  A must-see on your trip to Sofia. Stunning centuries-old church that includes an sub-level archeological museum for only 2 lev (student).

  A small and ancient church. We didn't get to see much of it because a wedding was about to take place. I will have to go back. Downstairs there is access to an excavation. There is a short, informative film. Most of what you can see if old tombs. Towards the end of the passages there are some remnants of mosaic floors. The entrance fee was rather high (around $6.00 per person) and they wanted an additional 15 leva (about $10.00) to take pictures. It's hard to actually recommend the excavation site but if you go don't waste your money on the pictures.

  This palce has very simple architecure. It does not look at anything extraordinary. We heard that inside there is a museum, and we pay to enter but we get a bit disappointed. At this underground historical place very few thing are preserved. Everything else is built recently and it looks very new and kind of fake. The Bulgarians are very proud of this place but we were not that amused by this place. The interior of the church looks nice and different though, so it is worth a visit. One tip: you can add some information and fliers with explanations to foreign visitors.

  Of the most beautiful sights! We visited the church on a Sunday morning to attend the Divine Liturgy, instead we bumped into the baptism of a middle-aged man. That was a trully uniwue moment, very special and touching. The inside of the church does not have any hagiographies but its walls are decorated with red bricks, which give it a special character!
