Inside Yambol's Newest Church

You've seen the outside, now you can see the inside of Yambol's newest Church. Everything is pristine, nice to see a modern building dedicated to the Bulgarian Orthodox cause. In this day and age the community need it to call upon.

Yambol's Newest Church

This is Yambol's newest church and was awarded the Building of the Year in Bulgaria in 2016. I must admit walking around the site the design and layout was fantastic. Inside is typical style Bulgarian Orthodox style used by many locals of all ages. 

The Turkish Place Of Prayer In Yambol

This is the Turkish place of prayer in Yambol. The Turkish mosque was build in 1385 and was reconstructed in 1970's. This is one of the best preserved mosque's in Bulgaria and right in the centre of Yambol. It is however ignored by most Bulgarians as this is a hangover from the Ottoman rule and persecution of Bulgarian and their Orthodox following.

St Nikolai's Church Dome Mural

I managed to sneak a quick picture of the murals painted in the massive dome inside the St Nikolai's Church today. Not the best quality picture as it had to be done discreetly, but it does give a good example of a typical Bulgarian Orthodox styled church interior, which you can find all around the country.
