Things to do in Bulgaria

Hagia Sophia is the second oldest church in Sofia, dating back to the 6th century. In the 14th century, the city of Sofia was named after Hagia Sophia. Hagia Sophia was built on the basis of several existing churches. In the 2nd century AD, it was a Roman theater. The main hall and two towers on the east side and a domed tower were all built in the middle of the 6th century during the reign of Byzantine King Justinian I. As one of the most precious early church buildings in southeastern Europe, the church floor has complex early Christian decorations or mosaics with floral and animal patterns, and there are tombs underground and around it that are older than the church was built. People believe that Hagia Sophia has been blessed by mysterious forces and has not been damaged by human invasion and natural disasters for centuries. It is an architectural representative of elegance, simplicity and symmetrical beauty at that time.

2019.08.Sofia - Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, St. Nicholas Russian Cathedral: Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, has nothing to see except two or three churches. I want to say a few words about this city, but I don't know what to say. I just took a few photos and left.

Another huge Byzantine church in Sofia💕

#Eastern Europe Balkans#Bulgaria🇧🇬 Located in the southeast of the Balkan Peninsula in southeastern Europe, it is the third European country with the most historical sites. Bulgarians call their country "God's back garden". In late spring and early summer, the roses in the rose valley of Bulgaria are in full bloom, and the fragrance fills the entire valley. The most traditional architecture and culture are preserved in Sofia. Even in the cold winter, you can easily see flowers and green grass. Living in harmony with nature, listening to the birds singing, watching the flowers and leaves falling, this nation always lives in the warm spring.

Sofia is the political, economic and cultural center of Bulgaria. The largest park in the city, Freedom Park, is a semi-artificial and semi-natural park, beautiful and charming. Bright flower beds and neat lawns are everywhere in the city. Every household grows flowers and plants in front of and behind their doors and windows. There are shops and flower stalls selling all kinds of flowers on many streets in the city. Residents generally like to plant, buy and give flowers to each other. Walking in the city, you can smell the fragrance of flowers almost everywhere. The whole city is like a blooming flower. With the white or light yellow houses, Sofia looks particularly beautiful and elegant.

It was a statue on the main street in Plovdiv. The knees and other parts of the statue were smooth because everyone touched them. I wonder if there is a reason for it.
