This highly decorated building was build in 1908, much of the original sculptural ornaments were unfortunately destroyed during the second world war. The mosaic in the top middle depicts Ilarion Makariopolski, Avxenty Veleshki and Paisiy Plovdivski, who fought for an independent church. uuid="52F251CA-9B8F-422C-9BD6-ACAC9903AB6D" id="Bulgaria lilleulven.com _K3_1826.DNG "
