Sveta Nedelya is a medieval church that has suffered destruction through the ages and has been reconstructed many times. It was probably built in the 10th century and had stone foundations and otherwise wooden construction, remaining wooden until the middle of the 19th century. Around 1460, the remains of Serbian king Stephen Milutin were carried to Bulgaria and were stored in various churches and monasteries until being transferred to St. Nedelya after it became a bishop's residence in the 18th century. The church was razed in the assault in 1925 that claimed over 150 victims. After the assault, the church was restored to its modern appearance between the summer of 1927 and the spring of 1933.
