St. Demetrius Church (Stara Zagora)

Bulgaria / Stara Zagora / Stara Zagora / Pop Bogomil St, 1
 church, 1860s construction, Bulgarian Orthodox Church
The church is possibly one of the most important religious temples in Stara Zagora City. It was built during the Turkish yoke in 1859 and it is the oldest Christian temple in the city.
The Cathedral was a way for the city's inhabitants to preserve their customs, to find solace inside the temple and to help build and maintain a closely-knit community.
During the yoke, the Cathedral was also used as a school and it was known as 'The pastor's house' or 'Papaz Evi'. A whole neighborhood developed gradually around the temple.
