Climbers started dismantling the scaffolding around the cupolas of the St Alexander Nevski cathedral in Sofia. This revealed the refreshed gold holding of the cupola. The restoration works took more than a year. The scaffolding is being removed over the visit of Russia's President Putin who will attend a mass in the catherdral on March 3.
The St. Alexander Nevsky cathedral was built to the designs of Russian architect Pomerantsev from 1904 to 1912. It is one of the finest pieces of 20th century architecture in Sofia. The interior is splendid in materials and craftsmanship: Italian marble, Brazilian onyx, African alabaster, frescoes and woodcarvings by the best Bulgarian and Russian artists. The underground crypt has an impressive collection of icons.
The exposition opened in 1964 and features icons from across Bulgaria that are among the 9th to 18th century masterpieces in the Balkans. Several icons from the 12th to 14th century match the best works of Byzantine's Constantinople studios of the age.
