Antique City Complex in the centre of Sofia

The Sofia Echo, 4th September 2006

Archaeological finds in the centre of Sofia would be connected in an underground antique tourism complex.

The network would include the ancient fortress Serdika, located close to the presidency, as well as the St Petka church and the recently found Roman theatre on Dondoukov Boulevard, Novinar newspaper reported.

Sofia’s chief architect said the first part of the project would be finalised in two years. Archaeologists needed to carry out analysis to prevent the damage of any of the finds.

An exhibition hall would be created as well. The complex would also include shops and restaurants, Novinar reported.

Some of the plans included the creation of an antique theatre in Sofia, similar to the one in Plovdiv. The project has been finalised and the Finance and Transport ministries already gave their approval.
