The Church of St George in Sofia, Bulgaria, a circular brick building dating to the early 4th century CE, when Serdica served as an imperial residence under Galerius and [Constantine the Great](https://www.worldhistory.org/Constantine_I/). Originally part of a larger [Roman](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Roman/) complex, the rotunda was later converted into a Christian church.
