An emblematic church in Veliko Tarnovo shone in the light on the eve of Easter
On the eve of Easter, the emblematic church “St. St. Cyril and Methodius ”shone in bright light from the highest point of Veliko Tarnovo. Built by Kolyu Ficheto, the church is his first construction, with which the master is titled as an architect. The initiative to illuminate the church belongs to the newly established association “Veliko Tarnovo – historical and spiritual capital of Bulgaria” and is his first pilot project.
This is one of the many initiatives that they plan to implement for Veliko Tarnovo. The lighting is already a fact and in the evening the temple can be seen from the main street and from the old town.
All lighting fixtures are installed at a distance, in the green areas around the temple and there is no interference on the building itself. Unfortunately, this church, as well as other city temples need urgent and serious repairs and the Association will work in this direction.
