Это сооружение действительно ставит перед исследователями сложные вопросы. Вначале мы вновь обратимся к его первоначальной функции. А учитывая, что после частичного разрушения здание подверглось радикальной реконструкции в XX в., мы заново рассмотрели его первоначальный облик — особенно его весьма своеобразную вертикальную структуру. Естественно, это требует пересмотра различных предложенных датировок; и поскольку наиболее правдоподобной представляется гипотеза о строительстве в VI в., мы попытались вписать этот храм в более широкий архитектурный контекст той эпохи.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Although being one of the largest churches possibly of Protobyzantine era currently standing and in liturgical use, the Basilica Saint Sophia in Sofia is still — except in Bulgaria itself — too little taken into account in specialized historiography. The building indeed poses complex issues. We will first revisit its initial function. And, to the extent that, following a partial destruction, it underwent a radical reconstruction in the 20th century, we will re-examine its original design — especially its rather unique elevation. This obviously involves reconsidering the various proposals that have been made regarding its dating; and insofar as the hypothesis of a construction in the 6th century appears to be the most plausible, we will attempt to place this church within the broader architectural context of the period.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Святая София (София)</kwd><kwd>ранневизантийская архитектура</kwd><kwd>храмы VI века</kwd><kwd>сводчатые конструкции</kwd><kwd>позднеантичная архитектура Балкан</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Saint Sophia</kwd><kwd>Sofia</kwd><kwd>Early Byzantine architecture</kwd><kwd>6th-century churches</kwd><kwd>vaulting techniques</kwd><kwd>Late Antique Balkans</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Babić 1969 — Babić G.
