Church

The largest and most significant monument in Burgas is the church dedicated to Saints Cyril and Methodius. The church is included on the list of ‘Bulgaria’s 100 Most Significant Monuments’. Due to its appearance, the building is often referred to as a cathedral, although it does not hold this status, as the seat of the diocese is in the town of Sliven.
