Sofia Multi-culti

Georgi Jordanov

If you are more adventurous, but like to explore some emblematic buildings representing the cultural and religous mixture of the Bulgarian folk, from the Central location of Vitosha Blvd. and St. Nedelya Church you can direction north and pass through the subway. Here you can see remainings from the first inhabitance of Sofia (previously called Serdica and Triaditsa) - the Thracians. Passing by the reputable shopping mall (TSUM) you will reach a small park, where usually some suspicous persons are enjoying the weather or their coffee. On the right side you can see the Central Mineral Baths, previously functioning like this, but nowadays turned into a Museum of Sofia. On the left there is the only one Mosque in Sofia - Banya Bashi. On the other side of the street there is a large covered market with traditional food and souveniers - Halite. Just behind the market is located the largest Synagogue on the Balkan Peninsula. Continuing along the street you will reach the so known Women market. Here you can practice your negotiating skills and make some bargains. Pirotska str. is another pedastrian zone and shopping area. St. Josif Church can be the last stop of this small multi-culti trip in the heart of Sofia.
