Overview of the tour in Sofia

You will start your tour with a visit to Boyana Church – a UNESCO site, located on the outskirts of Sofia. It was added to the World Cultural Heritage List in 1979. The building consists of three parts, which are examples of Byzantine architecture – Greek cross ground-plan with dome, richly decorated facades with ceramic elements. In the interior of the church, there are several layers of wall paintings from different historical periods-11th, the 13th, 15th-17th, and 19th. The church owes its world fame mainly to its frescoes from 1259, which reflect the unique achievements of the Bulgarian medieval culture. According to the experts, the style of the paintings from this period resembles the Renaissance style though much earlier than it began. The Boyana Church displays 89 scenes with 240 human figures individually or together.

Afterward, you will head toward The Zemen Monastery “Saint John the Evangelist”. The monastery had been founded sometime during The First Bulgarian Empire (681-1018 CE).

  • Zemen Monastery "St. John the Apostle"
  • Boyana Church
