To be beautiful, St. Nicholas Russian Church is never under Alexander Church. If Alexander has the grandeur of the atmosphere, St. Nicholas Church has the small and exquisite spirit.
The influence of Russian culture here is still very deep.
Very majestic church, we stayed here for a long time
The quaint and charming Russian church has been to the small town of Sofia in Bulgaria and seen many churches, but what impressed me was the St. Nicholas Russian Church, a typical Russian-style building. The location of the church is very good, if you have enough time, you can also visit the nearby Temple of Saint Sophia. I appreciate the appearance of the church, the arched roof of the garden is particularly beautiful, and the overall momentum is spectacular. The wind and the beautiful weather increased the viewability of the church, and many photos were taken before entering, and each photo had sunshine, very gorgeous, very beautiful! Entering the interior of the church, the huge murals immediately attracted me, they have rich colors, this side is red, blue, the other side is green, gold, can be said to make people full of eyes, I see in front of these colors a little confused, although there are many visitors around, But I still feel the tranquility and beauty of it. I was about to raise my mobile phone to take pictures, but I was suddenly stopped. It turned out that photography was not allowed inside the church. Although it was a pity, it was still very understandable. After all, it is also a religious place. Keep awe and respect. [Warm reminder] The brightness of the light inside the church is still very different from the outside. When I went in, my eyes were extremely uncomfortable. The church does not need tickets, but there may be a lot of internal activities, if not particularly interested or don't disturb it.
A few minutes walk from Alexander Nevsky Temple. The onion roof is still like a Russian Orthodox Church, and I thought that even the same Orthodox Church has its own personality.
