Original - Sveti Sedmochislenitsi Church (The Seven Saints) in Sofia Bulgaria. Built (1901-1902) over an old building. Inaugurated 1903. It is amidst the best examples of the Bulgarian Romantism and the Neo-Byzantine architecture in the country. The temple is dedicated to Saints Cyril and Methodius and their five disciples (Clement of Ohrid, Naum of Preslav, Gorazd, Sava and Angelarius), known in the Orthodox Church collectively as the Sedmochislenitsi.

Reason

Excellent exterior view of the entire temple which is among the landmarks of the Bulgarian capital as well as a very good representation of the Neo-Byzantine architecture and the Bulgarian Romantism in the architecture.

• Neutral for now. It's a good photo, just a little uninspiring for me. It seems like a holiday snapshot from the angle at which it was taken. But I do like the kids playing at the entrance! Aaadddaaammm (talk) 21:18, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
• Weak support. I like the angle and the composition, and the EV is fairly clear, but the technical quality isn't enormous. Nice shot though. J Milburn (talk) 17:58, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
• Support as above --Muhammad(talk) 02:44, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
• Support per J Milburn. Does this style of architecture have a name? JJ Harrison (talk) 00:40, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

• In the base of the style is the Neo-Byzantine architecture mostly influenced by its specifications of the Second Bulgarian Empire. Here is an example of 13th century Church of Christ Pantocrator, Nesebar.--MrPanyGoff (talk) 10:06, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Not Promoted --Makeemlighter (talk) 01:00, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

• Only 4.5 of the required 5 supports. Possibly worth re-nominating at some point. Makeemlighter (talk) 01:00, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

• According to the rules 4 supports are required not 5 ?!?!--MrPanyGoff (talk) 08:43, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
