What you can expect

Visit St. Paraskeva, an Orthodox church built in the early 20th century, at a time when Sofia was seeking to develop as a European capital. Learn how, through its structure and symbols, such a building aims to showcase the Orthodox liturgy and make the invisible visible. Discover the building styles and methods, the architecture, the history, and the pioneering use of crowdfunding, as well as Byzantine traditions and European influences, the symbols and the choice of a patron saint, the layout of the spaces and the three iconostases, and more.
A participatory tour that takes into account your questions and your knowledge. Please meet 5 minutes before the tour time at the main gate of the parish grounds, 58 G. S. Rakovski Street.
