Landmarks Of Sofia
Several buildings and places vie for Sofia’s emblem. The most frequent image is the impressive edifice of the Cathedral and Memorial church of "St. Alexandar Nevski". The temple is the central patriarch’s cathedral of the autonomous Bulgarian Orthodox Church.

A remarkable sight is also the place surrounding the cathedral, where a Monument of the unknown soldier with eternal burning flame is located. Part of the same square is occupied by the church of St.Sofia, dating from the 4th – 6th century AD. Behind the Monumental Cathedral rises the building of the “St. St. Cyril and Methodius”, which houses the National Gallery of Foreign Arts.

The Russian Church "St Nikolai" was built in 1912-1914. The interior of the church contains wonderful majolica ornaments, Russian-style icons among which stands out the icon of St.Nikolai.

Another remarkable mixture of cultures is the square in front of the Central Halls covered market (1911), where are the Mosque (1576), the public baths (1913), the Roman ruins with the corner tower of the fortress of Serdica, the Jewish synagogue(1909) and the almost underground church "St Petka".

Alexander Nevski Cathedral

Another landmark in the capital is the “Ivan Vazov” National Theatre. The theatre was founded in 1904, and its building was completed in 1907. The edifice of the National Assembly was built in 1884. and it is the third rightful candidate for the city’s emblem. A motto inscribed on its main facade reads “Union makes strength”. To the west of the Parliament building is the Bulgarian Academy of Science created in 1869, and to the east across a small garden rises the university, founded in 1888, and built in 1920.

In the inner courtyard of the Presidency and hotel “Sheraton” rises the famous Roman Rotunda transformed into the church of St. George, dating to the 4th century AD
