The St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is a Bulgarian Orthodox cathedral in Sofia. Built in Neo-Byzantine style, it serves as the cathedral church of the Patriarch of Bulgaria and is one of the largest Eastern Orthodox cathedrals in the world, as well as one of Sofia’s symbols and primary tourist attractions. It was built in the early 20th century in memory of the 200,000 Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian and Bulgarian soldiers, who died in the Russo-Turkish War. The cathedral’s gold-plated dome is 45 m high, with the bell tower reaching 50.52 m.
