Walking tour of Sofia

Описание:

Imaginethat we’re standing now at the  highest point of Sofia … plain  550 m above the sea level. At the same time it’s  the highest check mark of the town’s  history- near the Christian Orthodox temple which  gave its name to the city of  Sofia.  This place was beyond the fortress walls of then roman city called Sardica by the name of its first inhabitants – the Thracian tribe of Serdi . The site was a part of a large roman theater in the 2-nd century- and that’s where the story of this emblematic church begins.  On the place where the first martyrs for Christianity were tortured and perished a small cemetery church  appeared somewhere between the 2-nd and the 3-d century AD to carry the light of the Holy Wisdom through the centuries.
