St Nedelya Church
Катедрален храм „Света Неделя“
The Eastern Orthodox cathedral on the city's central square, rebuilt after a 1925 bomb attack. Its interior murals gleam with gold.
St. Nedelya Church stands on the square of the same name in the city center. Its history dates back to the 10th century, and the current building was rebuilt in the 19th and 20th centuries. In 1925, the deadliest terrorist attack in Bulgarian history took place here. A bomb collapsed the dome and killed about 150 people, after which the church was rebuilt in its present Neo-Byzantine style. The interior features fine murals and a gilded iconostasis, and it houses the remains of Serbian King Stefan Milutin. Entry is free. The church sits at the northern end of Vitosha Boulevard, a few minutes from the Serdica site and St. George Rotunda.
