Това е една от малкото сгради в София,която се намира на ниво под земята. Църквата е много малка,но с много богата история за България,което я прави уникална забележителност и място което всеки родолюбец трябва да посети най малко един път в живота си. Тук е погребан апостола на свободата Васил Левски.

Древната римска гробница от IV век е символ на проявите на ранно християнство по нашите земи. Разполага със запазени стенописи и рисунки от времето на Пимен Зографски и се твърди, че е послужила и за гробница на Апостола на свободата - Васил Левски, но тези твърдения, все още не са неоспорими.

Not very friendly staff member just stared at us like she didn’t want us there. We did not feel welcome. Also you cannot take photos for some reason, even without flash. We left as we did not feel welcome without even looking around properly. You cannot go upstairs as it is closed off. Още

Church is actually closed to the public. Tourist office told me to ask the lady who manages the church to let me in, which I proceeded to do together with two Bulgarian women. She let them in, but not me. Rudely shouted 'no' and slammed the door behind her.

  • Dimitar Petrov

Нямам представа дали тази древна и многократно реставрирана църква функционира като храм. Винаги, когато съм минавал е затворена. I have no idea if this ancient and repeatedly restored church functions as a temple. Every time I've passed it's closed. Още

Църквата представлява малка еднокорабна постройка, частично вкопана в земята. Намира в центъра на София, в подлеза на Ларгото и метростанции сердика, както и в близост до хотел Шератон, ЦУМ и катедралата „Света Неделя“. Криптата на църквата… Още

Many old cities were built in layers. As contractors excavate to build newer structures, they inadvertently reveal layers that had been buried underground for centuries. The area around Sveta Petka, and the church itself, is one such layer.… Още

Еднокорабната църква частично вкопана в земята с дебели зидове около метър е издигната през XI век върху римска гробница от IV век. Най- ранните стенописи са датирани от XIV век. От XV и XVI има слой на Пимен Зографски. Иконостасът е дело… Още

Small church in the city center, one of the oldest churches in Sofia together with the St. George Rotonda. It was first mentioned in the 16th century but it is probably much older than that. I couldn't get inside as ut was locked but from… Още

Tiny little ancient church incongruously located in Sofia's city centre. Poking its head up out of a concrete underground shopping centre, the church looks up and down a busy highway. To the north, across the newly discovered ruins of a… Още

This church is best known for its 15th century murals. You can view the outside of the building 24 hours a day, but the interior with the frescoes is not open all the time. I am not sure when it is open as there are no hours posted. We… Още

I am sorry to day that, but some times your experience getting close to God is just ruined by some priests. SVETA PETKA is maybe one of the most beautiful places you could ever imagined, an old Roman Temple turned into a church and the… Още

There is lot of history to this place. When you first see it, it seems just like an ancient church, but just reading about it, you will see what a great piece of history you have in front of you. Take a little time and go inside. Worth it!

  • Seah Shao Jun Nigel

Marvelous orthodox church located in Roman ruins and the Seredika station. You simply can't miss it. Stop by for a short while to witness its marvel and also how human civilizations have advanced over these centuries Още

  • Михайло Литвиненко

Very unusual church situated right next to a metro station. There is something grotesque in seeing this ancient church next to metro station built in 3rd millennium. Definitely worth visiting

Small & beautiful church. Entrance was closed and couldn't see it inside. This church dedicated to St Petka (Saint) There's not much information available about this church.

  • Stanislav Degtjarjov

Wonder that is hidden between modern buildings and highways. Kept as authentic as possible. Thanks to the city heritage preservation program kept untouched and maintained.

  • Kris T

Born and raised in Sofia, I never saw the church open until few days ago. Was really a different experience to enter a place that old, with so much energy inside. Още

This place looks amazing, there should be also some explanations in English maybe, but a small church in the center of this city looks very interesting.

Small, ancient church almost in the heart of downtown. You can't really see it from the street, so it's a pedestrian only place, which is nice.

To be honest, not so much to see! There were tables in the church(?!) and it’s very small. More interesting from outside. It’s for free Още

Small church from the times of the Ottoman empire. It is small because it had to be smaller than the smallest mosque. Още
