Church of Sts. Constantine and Helena
Св. св. Константин и Елена
One of the oldest churches in the Old Town. The current building was rebuilt in 1832 and is notable for its gilded wood-carved iconostasis and painted exterior gallery.
A church was already built on this site in the 4th century to commemorate martyrs. The present building was rebuilt in 1832 and is one of Plovdiv's oldest churches. The exterior gallery is decorated with brightly coloured murals. Inside, the Viennese Baroque gilded wood-carved iconostasis and icons by the renowned painter Zahari Zograf are worth a close look. The church is next to the Hisar Gate. Entry is free. Please keep quiet during services and dress respectfully.
