The Rotunda is actually hard to come by if you are not looking for it. Situated in an inner courtyard between the presidency and the Sheraton hotel it is a quiet place to enjoy a piece of history.

The visit was a journey back in time to these moments of faith and devotion. The church looks and feels old with its well kept glory and icons.

Ancient temple turned into church surrounded by a modern building, there are also some ruins in front and location serves as excellent photo location

The church stands next to the Residence of President. This is a good example of Roman Cathoric still can be seen in Orthodox Bulgaria. It seems there is a restroation effort going on. Can't wait to see how it will be.

No pics allowed inside so support the church by leaving a donation or pick up some postcards of the inner art.... Awesome inside and out!

We were fortunate that our Bulgarian tour guide directed us to St. George hidden in the Courtyard of the Sheraton Hotel. It is an interesting small orthodox church built circa 400 AD.
