Your audio guide reveals stories of quiet Christian worship, the Roman crypt beneath the floor, and the skilled saddle-makers who gave the church its name.

Built in the 3rd–4th century AD on top of an earlier Roman theatre, it was among the largest amphitheatres in the eastern Roman Empire and the biggest in what is now Bulgaria, though it stayed in use for less than a century. Your audio guide brings the ancient world to life with the carved stone that advertised these spectacles, the coins and pottery that dated the site, and the engineering behind the arena. Wander the excavated foundations at your leisure — rediscovered in 2004 during hotel construction — while learning what they reveal about Roman leisure culture on the empire's frontier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"uv-attraction-meta\"\u003e\n \u003cspan class=\"uv-attraction-tag\"\u003e🏟️ Roman Ruins\u003c\/span\u003e\n \u003cspan class=\"uv-attraction-tag\"\u003e⚔️ Gladiator History\u003c\/span\u003e\n \u003cspan class=\"uv-attraction-tag\"\u003e~22 min audio\u003c\/span\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003c!-- 10 --\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"uv-attraction\"\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"uv-attraction-head\"\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"uv-attraction-num\"\u003eSTOP 10\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"uv-attraction-name\"\u003eSaint Nikolas Russian Church\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"uv-attraction-body\"\u003e\n \u003cp class=\"uv-attraction-desc\"\u003eDiscover one of Sofia's most photographed Orthodox churches, a stunning example of Russian ecclesiastical architecture and a symbol of Slavic brotherhood.

Raised on Suleiman the Magnificent's orders and nicknamed the Black Mosque after the dark stone of its minaret, the structure served Sofia's Muslim community for some 350 years, then stood abandoned and was used as a prison before its conversion in 1901–1903. Your audio guide reveals how the Russian architect Alexander Pomerantsev proposed that conversion, how the Bulgarians Yordan Milanov and Petko Momchilov added the dome, narthex and bell tower, and what was found in the foundations — a Roman temple of Asclepius and an early Christian church.
