DescriptionBulgaria-02861 - Church of St George (11045784306).jpg |
PLEASE,NO invitations or self promotion in your comments, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE for anyone to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks - NONE OF MY PICTURES ARE HDR. The Church of St George is an Early Christian red brick rotunda, it is the oldest building in Sofia. The rotunda has a diameter of 9.5m (31ft) and is about 14m (46ft) high. It's brick walls are an impressive 1.40m (4.6ft) thick. The building is situated amid remains of the ancient town of Serdica. The original function of the rotunda is still debated. Some say it was built as a bath, others argue that since it was located in the centre of 2nd century AD Roman public buildings, it likely had a religious and ceremonial function. Emperor Constantine the Great turned the Rotunda into a Christian temple, which survived until the invasion of Attila's Huns, when it was almost completely destroyed. It was reconstructed during the reign of Emperor Justinian. During the reign of Sultan Selim I (16th century), the church was turned into a mosque, the 'Gyul Mosque'. A minaret was constructed, and the Early Christian art was painted over with Islamic decorative elements. The original frescoes were uncovered during restoration. |
