#Travel Course Plovdiv "Assumption of the Virgin" Church | A holy place that takes you back in time 🕊️✨ If you come to Plovdiv, don't miss the "Assumption of the Virgin" Church (Катедрален храм „Успение Богородично“) full of history! It is located in the old town and has a magnificent bell tower. If you climb the huge stone steps from below, you will feel as if you are entering history. When I went in alone, the interior of the church was somewhat dark, but I felt solemnity and mystery everywhere. Every detail, such as the elaborate frescoes and ornately carved wooden iconographic partitions, seemed to tell an old story. In particular, the frescoes depicting the educational role of the church made me feel the spirit of the Bulgarian people who resisted the Ottoman rule. It is said that the first Bulgarian service in Plovdiv was held here in 1859, so it has a special meaning! My Visiting Tips: Easy to find: It is located in the old town of Plovdiv, the address is ul. Saborna 6. Follow the signs to the old town and you will easily find it. Opening hours: Usually open from 7am to 7pm, but since the church is a place of worship, it is better to visit outside of service hours. What to see: The frescoes and wooden iconostasis inside are really worth looking at. Feel the atmosphere of ancient art. Around the church: There is a small garden around the church, which is great for sitting and resting when you get tired of looking around. If you want to feel the deep history and religious culture of Plovdiv, this church is a must-see!
