Built in Neo-Byzantine style, Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is one of the largest orthodox cathedrals in the world and the major attraction in Sofia. It was built as a commemoration for those who fought with the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century, and was finally completed after 30 years, in 1924. It is attractive to visitors not only for its religious importance as the seat of Bulgarian patriarch, but also for its majestic architecture.
The building has 12 bells in a 52 metres high belfry, however, what makes it particularly interesting are elements that were transported from several different countries. As you explore the cathedral, you’ll be able to see surprising things such as Munich marble, Indian alabaster and Venetian mosaics. Besides the architecture, you should also check out the National Art Gallery which exhibits the largest collection of orthodox icons in Europe.
You can easily find a gym near Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, since it is located in Sofia’s downtown.
