πŸ‘πŸ‘ We just happened to stop by this beautiful church on our way up to the theatre on the top of the hill. Walking around it, there are some benches where you can sit and relax in the quietness. The entrance door and bell tower are Magnificant and you can see the pidgeons roosting up there. People often mention church, Plovdiv,

    Impressive church inside and out. They don't allow pics inside and the murals are really really good even ifa bit weathered down by time. This is a place where you could easily spend half an hour if you're interested in Orthodoxy. Take the time to thoroughly explore the yard and admire the church from all the angles

    Beautiful late 19th C Orthodox Church on the southern slope of Old Town. Ornate and reverent interior. There is a peaceful calm in this church which after a stroll around looking at the marvelous icons, is best experienced by sitting quietly for a few minutes.

    It's one of the more impressive Eastern Orthodox churches in the Plovdiv area, and it has a lot of history behind it. I think it's a very iconic part of the Old Town and worth checking out!

    Nice interior design, be careful-don’t take pictures inside.

    Reminds me of some of the churches in Prague old town. I did not visit the church inside, but I would believe it is a picturesque one. The outer part was just as beautiful. If you are having difficulties walking, you might consider taking a car and parking on the street above the church and not the one beneath it. Like that you will be taking the stairs down. I did not see a ramp connecting the 2 streets which were the nearest access to the church. Be prepared for a of stairs. A real challenge for a baby stroller. Located in Plovdiv Old town, this church is located in the beginning of your walking tour if starting it from behind the central mosque.

    It's a nice building, and a quiet place, but nothing that I would spend more than a few minutes in.

    The church is located on the hill. It is perfect to stop by when feeling tired after climbing up the stairs. Inside you can take your time to see clearly each painting and architecture design. The tranquility is worthy of a stay away from the hustle and the bustle in town.
