The historical significance of Sofia as a Christian center since the early IV century has undoubtedly shaped the presence and importance of the Sofia Diocese within the Bulgarian Orthodox Church. The 1929 construction efforts by Metropolitan Stefan stand as a testament to the church’s commitment to establishing prominent and suitable structures for the Sofia Metropolis. These buildings, consecrated in 1930 and 1931 respectively, symbolize the continuation of the diocese’s presence and commitment to the spiritual well-being of the region.
