St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is a Bulgarian Orthodox cathedral, it serves as the cathedral church of the Patriarch of Bulgaria and is one of the largest Eastern Orthodox cathedrals in the world. The St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral occupies an area of 3,170 square meters (34,100 sq ft) and can hold 10,000 people inside.

The construction of the St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral started in 1882 but most of it was built between 1904 and 1912. Saint Alexander Nevsky was a Russian prince. The cathedral was created in honour to the Russian soldiers who died during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878, as a result of which Bulgaria was liberated from Ottoman rule.
