Beautiful architecture inside and out. Quite place for a prayer or just for a moment of calmness while you observe the history and the sacred paintings. A place you must visit while in Varna, Bulgaria.

So beautiful. We were really lucky to visit during mass and listen to the full choir singing. However, even without it will be very much worth a visit

Beautiful Cathedral with well preserved frescos and striking golden spires. If you take photos be sure to leave a donation and remember this is a place of worship first, tourist attraction second, so many people on our visit obscuring peoples opportunity to pray.

This cathedral is from the outside very beautiful as it is from the inside. You can do your prayers. I am the person to take advantage of the cultural and religious institutions. Learn and see new things. This cathedral is small, but very beautiful

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
