Sofia is an 8 000-years-old city, one of the most ancient cities in Europe but one of the youngest capitals. Many-sided and many-voiced, buried in the rich greenery of its multiple smaller and bigger parks, or standing in embarrassment within solemn silence of its millenary churches; dancing in the hurried rhythm of every day business life, or bowing its head in prayer in different languages in temples of different religions – Sofia, The Wisdom of God according to Orthodox Christianity. There are many places connected to this religion in the ancient city. For example, the Rotonda /round church/ of Saint George, constructed in the 4th century A. D., during the rule of Roman Emperor Constantine The Great, when the city was among the biggest and most flourishing centers of Roman Empire. One can feel the unique atmosphere of Roman Serdica in the Basilica of Saint Sofia or having a cup of coffee sitting amidst ancient Roman ruins situated right in the center of nowadays city. Nevertheless many of Sofia’s sacred placed are still outside rushing capital. In the skirts of surrounding mountains, amidst silence and aromatic breeze of splendid nature, unsuspecting visitor makes amusing discoveries – the famous Boyana Church, the native place of European Renaissance with its unique frescos from the middle of 13th century; Dragalevtsi Monastery, an operating convent founded in 1345 and preserving its wonderful frescos from the period. Of course, there many more, but let the surprise of their unexpected splendor be a present for your unforgettable trip. |
