"St Nicolai Church" (also known as "The Rusian church") is one of the prettiest churches in Sofia. It was built by Russian workmen in 1912 and dedicated to St Nicholas, "the miracle worker".
The exterior has bright yellow tiles and the domes are covered with emerald green majolica tiles, crowned with five gold-plated "onion" domes which contrast greatly with the churches dim interior. The exterior has recently been renovated by the Moscow Patriarchate, who provided the gold for the domes.
