🎧 Listen to Introduction
Boyana Church is located in the suburbs of Sofia and consists of three buildings. The eastern church was built in the 10th century and was expanded in the early 13th century by Sebastiano Kratos Kaloyan, who ordered the construction of a second two-story building next to it. The frescoes in the second church were painted in 1259 and are one of the most important collections of medieval paintings. The third church was built in the early 19th century and completes the entire church complex. The site is one of the most complete and best-preserved monuments of medieval art in Eastern Europe.
