20 See if you can spot what is missing at the Communist Party House Until August 1990 this was the seat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party. In the summer of 1990 it was set on fire by crowds protesting against communist rule. Based on the designs of P. Zlatev, it was built by a co-op of architects which included Tsolov and the Soviet architect Blochin. Completed in 1953, it marks the top end of an area known as the Largo, a major showpiece of postwar socialist Sofia. Look up and you will notice something distinctly missing. The red star! This was removed after the collapse of the communist party. Now it is exhibited at the recently opened Museum of Socialist Art. Today the building is mainly used as Government offices and the splendid Sofia Hall is occasionally used for charity concerts.Q C-3, pl. Alexander Battenberg 1, MSerdika. 21Check out THE international art collection at National Gallery Kvadrat The newest museum building in Bulgaria – the National Gallery – opened on May 25, 2015 in the building of the former State Printing House on Alexander Nevsky Square. Almost 2,000 artworks from the gallery’s rich fund of over 42,000 pieces by Bulgarian and foreign artists, are exhibited in 28 halls on four levels. The Bulgarian collection dates back to the 1890s, while the greater part of the foreign collection was formed in the 1980s. As an institution, the National Gallery unites the former National Museum of Bulgarian Fine Arts and the National Gallery of Foreign Art. The idea of housing a national gallery in the complex of buildings that includes the National Gallery of Foreign Art and the vacated wings of the Technical University with its entrance across from the Vasil Levski monument, began to be developed in 1999. The public tender for the design of a modern museum centre was won by the architect Yanko Apostolov in 2010. The Bulgarian Ministry of Culture signed a contract for EU funding under the Regional Development Operational Programme. The representative exposition (conceived by famous Bulgarian contemporary artist Svetlin Rusev) features works tracing the path of Bulgarian art from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day, Western European art from 15th.-19th. centuries, and art exhibits from Europe, Asia, Africa and America.QC-3, ul. 19 Fevruari 1, MSofiyski Universitet, tel.

The permanent collection consists of predominantly 20th century paintings and sculptures by Bulgarian artists, many of which have been donated to the gallery, but there are frequent visiting exhibitions. The galleryoften hosts musical recitals and avant-garde events. A small area at the entrance sells postcards, posters and books about Bulgarian art.QC-3, ul. Gurko 1, MSerdika, tel.

J 24 Visit the only UNESCO heritage listed building in Sofia the famous Boyana Church One of Bulgaria’s most significant historical treasures, listed on the Unesco World Cultural Heritage list. Set amongst tall old pine trees in the exclusive suburb of Boyana on Vitosha mountain, this quaint church dates back to the 11th century and was built in three stages (11th, 13th and 19th century). The frescoes, dating back to 1259, are considered a remarkable example of realistic art from that era, a century earlier than the birth of the Italian Renaissance. 240 realistic figures, bearing the features of Bulgarian life at that time, are depicted on the walls and include portraits of Tsar Konstantin Assen and his wife Tsaritsa Irina as well as Tsar Kaloyan and his wife Dessislava. The name of the artist (or artists) is unknown and he is generally just referred to as the Boyana Master.At the nearby museum, visitors can get a more detailed insight into the remarkable history of this church.

Open 09:30 – 17:30. 25 Find out more about the story of the Jews in Bulgaria at the Synagogue The largest Synagogue in the Balkans and third largest in Europe was built between 1905 and 1909 by Austrian architect Gruenanger in Spanish-Mauritanian and Byzantine style.

The Regional History Museum gives you a decent overview of the history of Sofia and has a few really interesting pieces included in the permanent exhibition. The building where it is hosted at is quite impressive both on the outside and on the inside. That is the former Central Mineral Bathhouse, built in 1912. It's open Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00AM to 6:00PM. Ticket is 8 BGN
