This is a beautiful church with active worship going on most of the time. We were mistakenly informed that one could not take photos while in the church, and later that one could buy a pass to take photos, but might have to display it many times to wardens who would try to stop you. But when we went back the second time to obtain our pass, we were told that no such pass nor prohibition existed. Go in and snap away. There was also reputed to be a tower that we could pay to climb, but on the day we were there, at least, it was not open. After seeing many Orthodox churches with Byzantine type icons, it was refreshing to see the iconostasis here covered with Renaissance type oil paintings. The murals on the walls also depicted scenes from the Gospels that I have not heretofore seen in hundreds of Western churches.

So beautiful 😍 The Dormition of the mother of God Cathedral is the largest church building in Varna and the third largest cathedral in Bulgaria (after St. Alexander Nevski Cathedral in Sofia and St. Dimitar Cathedral in Vidin). Officially opened on 30 August 1886. It is the residence of the bishopric of Varna and Presalv and one of the symbols of Varna.

One of many Orthodox Churches/Cathedrals in Bulgaria. It’s a must to visit whenever you can any Churches/Cathedrals as these will give great imagination on how rich Bulgaria is with their history and architecture. Visited this place there was baptism happening and it makes more memorable visit. Definitely a must place when you’re in Varna.

Probably the most iconic symbol of Varna, the cathedral is located on a hill that can be seen from many parts of the city including the pier. It has fascinating architecture and decoration and it is free to visit. It is a must see for every visitor of the city.

Cool place. There are little palm trees near the cathedral and seagulls and cats all over the place.

Beautiful place! The church is big and provides a classic experience of visiting an orthodox church - beautiful icons and interior. Don't forget it is a church, not simply a tourist attraction - keep it quite inside.

You should visit since it has a fantastic architecture.

This is one of the landmarks of Varna. This cathedral is absolutely beautiful. I liked the wooden altar and the fact that there are some stairs till you get to the altar. The paintings are old a valuable. I recomend you to visit it.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful temple cathedral very impressive (Original) Красив храм катедрала много внушителен

(Translated by Google) A great building (Original) Ein tolles Bauwerk

Highly recomend this monastery to go in and stay for some time. The spirit can be felt in each corner. Paintings in the walls are very sophisticated and old which with combination of light and smell from oil lamps makes this unereputable senses.

The church looks amazing, the bell ringing skills are amazing, the bells sound amazing, even after over 25 years of use! All and all, everything about the church is amazing except for the fact that the bells are automatic

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

It is wonderful! We were lucky to hear them singing. I'd give 6 stars :)

Beautiful cathedral in the middle of Varna. I recommend to visit it in daylight.

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.

Nice place to visit and one of the important places if you visit Varna. Cathedral is free for tourists also is a shop before entering wher you can buy souvenirs. We quite like this cathedral and good tip is if you croos road you can see whole wiew of Cathedral.

Beautiful Orthodox cathedral. You can't miss it while in Varna.

Great Cathedral ! Architectural, constructive and most of all Holy place ! Definitely worth a visit .

The second largest cathedral in Bulgaria

Built in 1881-5 and stunningly beautiful in the sunshine. Inside felt much more intimate, but with lots of frescoes and a three part altar there's lots of detail to look at on the inside. Great modern extraction system.in.place to redirect all the candle smoke and consequently preserve the frescoes too.

Visiting from London and I must say this Cathedral is absolutely beautiful! It's right in the city centre. We lite some candles too and prayed. It is so peaceful inside too. Hope to visit again.

Splendid and weird at the same time. I've never seen this type of frescoe in Orthodox churches. The outside has elements that look Gothic, on the inside you have glass paintings like in Catholic churches and the iconostasis and some of the murals look like renaissance. It was a very interesting experience

Like most religious buildings they are both a place of beauty as well as worship no matter what the faith, and this Cathedral is no exception. Differing in the sense that the walls are painted with beautiful murals, I didn't venture too far as I was being respectful of the Christenings, or baptisms, excuse my ignorance of this procedure, taking place although many people were entering the building and milling around. You stand in awe of the quality of the interior, but like most of my visits to these places I don't have the time to take it all in. If you intend to see this building in all of its glory then please allow yourself plenty of time as, if like me, you get a kind of overawed by it all then time passes very quickly.

(Translated by Google) Unique building! Very beautiful! (Original) Уникална сграда!Много красива!

Beautiful - outside and inside. Great Orthodox interior with multiple icons and drawings on the walls. If you are Christian do buy some candles at the entrance and light them up - usually the Orthodox people buy 2 each and light them up respectively one for those that are Alive and one for those that are Dead - means praying for the alive people we know and wish wellbeing and 1 for those we know and are not between us anymore - so they can rest in peace and have a beautiful new life in heaven. If you wish to take pictures of the interior - do it very cautiously as it is not allowed (in general in the Orthodox churches it is forbidden unless you are granted a special permit during a wedding or a baptism). Be silent while inside, no loud talking. If you have time to visit only one church in Eastern Bulgaria - this is your place.

(Translated by Google) Being in the city of Varna, it is impossible to miss one of the symbols of this city, the Cathedral of the Dormition of the Mother of God. Large golden domes can be seen from afar, and the building itself is also quite large. The interior is also impressive. You have to remember about appropriate clothes because we will either be asked to leave or we will get a headscarf to cover (in the case of women). In the summer season, there are tricksters in front of the entrance, you have to chase them away. (Original) Będąc w mieście Warna nie sposób jest pominąć jeden z symboli tej miejscowości czyli Sobór Zaśnięcia Matki Bożej. Duże złote kopuły widać już z daleka, a sama budowla też jest pokaźnych rozmiarów. Wnętrze również robi wrażenie. Trzeba pamiętać o stosownym ubraniu bo albo zostaniemy wyproszeni albo dostaniemy chustę do okrycia (w przypadku kobiet). W sezonie letnim przed wejsciem czają się naciągacze, trzeba się od nich odpędzać.

(Translated by Google) It is now closed for renovations (Original) עכשיו זה סגור לרגל שיפוצים

(Translated by Google) It is the place of silence, no hypocrisy, really believing people, upright priests, that's how it should be everywhere. (Original) Es ist der Ort der Stille, keine Heuchelei, wirklich gläubige Menschen, aufrechte Priester, so sollte es überall sein.

Now when now that it's being repaired it's not that fantabulous but still not bad. I expirenced huge signal interference there btw with DJI Mavic Mini

The cathedral is being reconstructed. Closes at 5 p.m.

Sadly it was in reforms, but seems to be a beautiful ancient orthodox cathedral.

One of my favorite orthodox churches in the city of Varna. This is the cathedral down town and it is simply stunning!

Cathedral is the largest church building in Varna and of the biggest in whole Bulgaria, with a long history. It is literally at the heart of Varna and one of the symbols of Varna.

If you are in Varna, Bulgaria, you must first go in and see the most famous cathedral! The entrance is free, the place is huge and spectacular. An impressive building from the outside but even more impressive from the inside, it is located near Varna's main pedestrian street. In the same area, not far from the cathedral are the Roman baths or the archaeological museum that are in the area, which means that it is worth taking a tour of the area and seeing more

A very nice church with great atmosphere.

Very beautiful cathedral, recommend to go inside, for free. It took my breath.

Centrally located church with plenty of holy relics to pay homage to. Well worth a visit 🙂

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 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.

There is this beautiful church in the center of the city. There are busses going everywhere from the location. You are just a few meters away from the old city and not far from the ocean. If you are visiting Varna this church is worth a visit. It is quiet here, with not so many visitors, but then again, I did come here in November
