Probably the original church was built in the 10th century and, like other Sofia temples at the time, it had stone foundations and a wooden structure on top. In this form the temple lasted until the middle of the XIX century. The attack in the church "Holy Sunday" is the biggest terrorist act in the history of Bulgaria. It was performed on April 16, 1925. The special purpose of the attack is to liquidate the country's military and political elite.

Sveta Nedelia square is in the heart and the very center of Sofia. At the square rises the old and beautiful church with the same name – Holy Sunday church or Sveta Nedelia.

This church has been destroyed and renovated several times along its 1000 years of existence. It is very beautiful, and can be seen in the same day as the Synagogue, the Mosque and the Central Market, for its proximity. There is a shop inside, offering some very interesting icons.
