The church St.St.Cyril and Methodius is located in the real center of Sofia and is devoted to the Cyril and Methodius brothers (creators of Slavic alphabet) and their five disciples Kliment, Naum, Sava, Gorazd, and Angelariy.

After the Liberation (1878) the mosque was used as military warehouse, later as prison. In 1901-1903 the mosque was reconstructed in Orthodox temple with the donations of Sofia citizens.

It is a rare element, not typical for the Bulgarian church architecture.
