църква „Света София“
It was built in the 6th century, in the same wave of construction as the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople. In 1329 it gave its name to the city. It was destroyed several times and during the Ottoman rule it was used as a mosque. It was built over an even older 4th-century church, which can be explored through its excavated crypts and tombs.
