1 review of Cathedral of St Joseph

St Joselph's Cathedral

Sofia, capital of Bulgaria, has always been a city of great religious tolerence. For example, when the Ottoman Turks invaded the country,they did not attempt to convert the Bulgarians to Islam, and still allowed them build Orthodox churches and keep going to different places of worship. Also, when you are in the heart of Sofia, on the famous Boulevard Marie Louise, you will find the Muslim mosque, the Jewish Synagogue, the Roman Catholic Cathedral of St. Joseph, and the Bulgarian Orthodox Church. This Roman Catholic church was built very recently, which explains its very modern design. They built it on the site of the old Catholic cathedral that was destroyed during the Second World War.

St. Joseph's Cathedral was only opened in May 2006. Building was started in 2002, with the foundation stone being laid by Pope John Paul II, which explains the presence of a statue of him next to the church. The main nave is 23 meters long, and the new bell tower is 33 meters high. It isn't very big, but Bulgaria is a mainly Orthodox country. The Cathedral can hold in excfess of 1000 people.
