The cathedral in Varna is one of the landmarks of the city. It is located on the square "Hl. Cyril and Methodius in the city center. Prince Alexander I of Battenberg (1857 - 1893) laid the foundation stone for the church in 1880. After the water-consecration, the prince pardoned all prisoners of the Varna prison who had been given three months' imprisonment. The name of the Cathedral "Uspenie Presvyatia Bogoroditsi" (Dormition of the Blessed Virgin) was chosen in memory of the Russian Empress Maria Alexandrovna, a Bulgarian benefactress and aunt of the prince.

Currently (8/21) undergoing exterior renovation, so you can't see everything. New fully gilded tower domes.
