Photo and description

The Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is one of the Orthodox churches in Veliko Tarnovo. The then young master Kolyo Ficheto took part in the construction project. Above the southern gate to the temple is a text in Greek and Bulgarian that tells visitors about the situation in which the temple was built. It says that permission for the construction was obtained from Illarion Tarnovsky in 1836 (it is assumed that the inscription appeared in 1849, after a great earthquake).

The exterior of the church includes many carved stone details around the windows and doors ... In addition to religious, the Church of St. Nicholas also performs educational functions - it is known as a training center where the Bulgarian language is taught.
