The Sveti Sedmochislenitsi Church (Bulgarian: църква „Свети Седмочисленици“, lit. 'Seven Apostles of Bulgarian Orthodox Church') and formerly the Black Mosque (Turkish: Kara Camii) is a Bulgarian Orthodox church, located in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. It was established in 1547 as an Ottoman mosque, later converted into an Eastern Orthodox church, and was inaugurated on 27 July 1903.
