Pop Art House Residency – Scene 16 – January 2024

by wdwrd

Scene 16 – ‘Sunken’ 16th century Church in Sofia Center – The Church of St Petka of the Saddlers ( Bulgarian: Църква „Света Петка Самарджийска“) is a medieval Bulgarian Orthodox church in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. It is a small one-naved building partially dug into the ground located in the very centre of both the modern and the antique city, in the TZUM underpass. The church is dedicated to St Petka, an 11th-century Bulgarian saint. The Church of Saint Petka acquired its present name due to it being a patron of the saddlers in the Middle Ages, who performed their rituals in the church. The adjective samardzhiyski (“of the saddlers”) was derived from the Ottoman Turkish word semerci, meaning “saddlemaker”. (Source: Wikipedia)
