In the southwestern part of the town of Vratsa, at the foot of the mountains, close to the river Left, is the Orthodox Church of St. Constantine and St. Helena. At a broad level yard surrounded by a low fence and houses, stands a majestic building of the Basilica. It was built in 1910-1915, according to a project, probably designed by the architect Pencho Couchevel. This is a large three-nave Church with a Central dome and two side towers, bell towers above the vestibule, located opposite each other. At the main entrance is a porch with an arcuate openings. Built of stone and brick building covered with white plaster – this gives it a solemn, monumental look.
The Church is dedicated to two saints – king Constantine and his mother, the pious Empress Helen, so she is also known as the temple of the Holy kings.
In former times this was the site of another temple, built during the Ottoman slavery. As required by the Turkish authorities, he was partially dug into the ground and was decorated with the cross. According to historical evidence, he was small in size. Therefore, after the overthrow of the Turks believers villagers decided to destroy the temple and build a new one is big and beautiful, with towers, domes, crosses and bell towers, which was done.
