St. Dimitar Cathedral

Vidin is an important religious centre. The proof for that statement is St. Dimitar - the second biggest church in Bulgaria after St. Alexander Nevski in Sofia. The dome is 33 meteres high. Absolute beauty and must-see.

Apart from Baba Vida's Fortress, St. Dimitar Cathedral can also be considered as one of the main symbols of Vidin. Both the exterior and the interior of the Church is quite interesting and charming, but also big when it comes to its overall size. One of the reasons to visit this Church, notwithstanding its beauty, is that it's the second biggest church in Bulgaria. Try not to miss this beautiful Cathedral!

Memorial of Victims in Serbo-Bulgarian War

The most famous Bulgarian sculptor Andrey Nikolov created a unique monument. It is dedicated to the victims in the Serbo-Bulgarian War of 1885. An English journalist who visited Vidin, wrote in this connection: "Bulgaria has a monument of victory like no other in Europe. The dying grenadier, despite being a winner, is plunged into grief. Bulgarians are only capable of such attitude.”

Although being attacked first by Serbia after the Bulgarian unification, our brother nation doesn’t liked the idea of strong state in the middle of the Balkans. So whit the blessings of Russia, they attacked Bulgaria in the back, while the Bulgarian army is stationed near the border whit Turkey waiting for the retaliation for the unification, which Turks saw as illegal. After the swift marches of the Bulgarian army they managed to return to Sofia and repelled all attacks by the Serbs. Drive them back to city of Nis and the Serbian than King sue for peace towards Ferdinand the 1st. Even we won this war, and the Serbs backstab us. The Bulgarian people showed their compassion whit Serbian people. Even as winners we never believed that our brothers will attack us. Whit this memorial we showed that even as winners there’s in nothing happier about the winning of this war, as it not came by the Turks but from our brothers which have the same religion, whit which we are so close, and for which freedom many Bulgarian have died. This is the crying grenadier, he cry not because he lose someone close in combat, but because of the betrayal and lust for power expressed by our brothers.

Reviewed By timothym691 - Eureka, United States

This synagogue, once use by the local Jewish population, is now a shell of what was once a vibrant community. It now stands, a shell of a building and a symbol of what hate con do.
