St. Constantine and Helena Church

The original church was built in the year 337 on the site of an older, pagan temple. Named after the Roman emperor Constantine the Great and his mother Helena, it has been destroyed and rebuilt several times over the course of its history. It contains icons by the famous Bulgarian painter and iconographer Zahari Zograf. The church as it stands today was constructed in 1832, making even its current iteration one of the oldest churches in Plovdiv.
