A LOST CITY Under SOFIA | Exploring BULGARIA'S Capital 🇧🇬

Exploring the best places to visit in Sofia on my first day in Bulgaria's capital. My walk around Sofia includes the cathedral & the lost Roman city of Serdica which is hidden under the city centre. 🇧🇬 See all of my videos from Bulgaria here → https://bit.ly/mwt_Bulgaria Following a long bus journey from Plovdiv I finally made it to Sofia - the capital of Bulgaria! Once I’d settled into the hotel I headed to the city centre for the first time to do some exploring. I love arriving in new places and immersing myself into the history, landmarks, culture and just trying to figure out what to do and how to do it! I hadn't done much research so the video is a raw, unplanned and spontaneous walk around what turned out to be a cool, captivating and nonconforming city. I started in a place that used to be called Lenin Square but has since been renamed Independence Square, which is where I found three important buildings nicknamed the Triangle of Power. Just along the street was the small stone-built Saint Petka Church that dates back to the 11th century. I also found a lost Roman city called Serdica - some of it had started to be excavated and it was thought provoking to wander around the site thinking of the people who constructed the walls and buildings over a thousand years ago. There were lots more Roman ruins to see in the metro station right in the city centre. After watching the changing of the guards at the presidential building I stumbled upon St. George Rotunda Church which dates back to the 4th century and is the oldest building in Sofia. As I continued my walk around the city I passed the Banya Bashi Mosque, the decorated Ivan Vazov National Theater & the bright yellow National Art Gallery of Sofia - a building that previously served as the acuity baths. Next up was the magnificent Alexander Nevsky (Saint Aleksandar Nevski) Cathedral where I flew my drone, photographed inside and out, and admired the Neo-Byzantine architecture and styling.
