A cherished relic brought back to life
In Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria's historical capital, stands the restored Church of St. Demetrius, a 9th-century Orthodox church through the arches of the Old Stone Bridge. Once ruined by earthquakes and looted, the church was fully rebuilt after a 1913 quake and now serves as Bulgaria's symbol of pride, said to be the site where leaders Peter and Asen declared independence from the Byzantine Empire in 1185. #ChurchStDemetrius é chain45154 / Moment / Getty Images Telegram: https://t.me/s/MomentsFeed BlueSky (New): https://momentsfeed.bsky.social X (Twitter): https://x.com/MomentsFeed
