Hagia Sophia is the second oldest church in Sofia, dating back to the 6th century. In the 14th century, the city of Sofia was named after Hagia Sophia. Hagia Sophia was built on the basis of several existing churches. In the 2nd century AD, it was a Roman theater. The main hall and two towers on the east side and a domed tower were all built in the middle of the 6th century during the reign of Byzantine King Justinian I. As one of the most precious early church buildings in southeastern Europe, the church floor has complex early Christian decorations or mosaics with floral and animal patterns, and there are tombs underground and around it that are older than the church was built. People believe that Hagia Sophia has been blessed by mysterious forces and has not been damaged by human invasion and natural disasters for centuries. It is an architectural representative of elegance, simplicity and symmetrical beauty at that time.

Arch of Galerius, locally known as Kamara, is a remarkable Roman monument in Thessaloniki, Greece. Built in the early 4th century AD, it was constructed to celebrate Emperor Galerius’ victory over the Persians. The arch once formed part of a grand imperial complex that included the nearby Rotunda.Although only part of the structure survives today, its detailed marble reliefs still tell powerful stories of ancient battles and Roman triumphs. Standing proudly in the city center, the Arch of Galerius remains a symbol of Thessaloniki’s rich history and cultural heritage.

Sofia is the political, economic and cultural center of Bulgaria. The largest park in the city, Freedom Park, is a semi-artificial and semi-natural park, beautiful and charming. Bright flower beds and neat lawns are everywhere in the city. Every household grows flowers and plants in front of and behind their doors and windows. There are shops and flower stalls selling all kinds of flowers on many streets in the city. Residents generally like to plant, buy and give flowers to each other. Walking in the city, you can smell the fragrance of flowers almost everywhere. The whole city is like a blooming flower. With the white or light yellow houses, Sofia looks particularly beautiful and elegant.

This church has a long history, is very famous and very nice.
