Lonely Planet review for Church of Sveti Konstantin & Elena

The Church of Sveti Konstantin & Elena, Plovdiv’s oldest, was built over a late Roman church. It’s dedicated to Constantine the Great, the 4th-century emperor who made Orthodox Christianity the state religion, and his mother, Sveta Helena. The current church, however, dates mostly to 1832. The wonderful iconostasis was painted by Zahari Zograf between 1836 and 1840, and the covered portico features sumptuous frescoes.
