Christian temple "The holy Virgin Mary Panagia "

It is believed that the building was built in the distant 1602. and is the oldest operating temple in the city.A stone with inscription in Greek reveals the following:"This temple of our Most Holy Mother of God was established, with the help and expense of all the poor Christians of this city in 1802." According to researchers, the year was misspelled, and the fact that the inscription is in Greek suggests that the church was serving representatives of the Greek community in Varna.In the courtyard of the church there is also a residential building owned by the church board of trustees used for the dwelling of the priest and the church clergyman. It is currently uninhabited in extremely poor technical condition. The project is the work of the Bureau of Arch. St. Benev and lead by Arch. A. Frangia.
