A wonderful architectural and religious monument is the Armenian Church of the Holy Cross. Everything is good here – both the interior furnishing and the exterior. Despite the fact that the place of worship is rather small, it is very spacious inside and a special atmosphere that cannot be confused with anything is reported. It is remarkable that this is the most ancient temple in the city (its construction was started in 1808 and was completed in 1853). In front of the entrance, you can discover one more place of interest, the arch of St. Nicholas Wonderworker. It was built in honor of the Saint, who is considered the protector of Burgas. The place is considered sacred, and it is believed that whoever passes through it will surely find happiness and prosperity.
Another interesting church in the city bears the name, the Roman Catholic Church of Virgin Mary Theotokos. It is very calm inside here, and you will find the building immediately fascinating because of its interesting architecture. In the interior, you can find many beautiful sculptures. Another part of the building is designated for shops, and for this reason that the church cannot be noticed immediately. That notwithstanding, you should not ignore it on purpose. The Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the oldest Orthodox Church in the whole Burgas (it was built in the 1860s). You can find interesting icons inside (made by the monks of Athons) and frescoes (painted by the icon painter N. E. Rostovtsev).
