I walked past this attractive looking building on the way to the main cathedral. I didn't try to enter, but it didn't seem to have any obvious signage encouraging tourists to go inside.

This is actually a building of the Archive of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. It's good look at, especially as it's situated in the very centre, just a few steps from Alexander Nevsky.

Beautiful building with amazing architecture in the heart of Sofia. It's a pretty busy place so keep in mind the parking space and mind the traffic while crossing roads its not as easy as in North America! 🙃

A medium-sized building next to the square with a memorial temple. the building is well maintained and the style of the building is sustained. There is a memorial plaque of Ivan Geshov on the building

The restoration could have been done better, but at least the roof is now homogeneous and the air conditioners have been removed. Unfortunately, the cables are still sticking out everywhere, and the joinery is in a deplorable condition.
