Old Sofia.
Sofia is one of the oldest settlements in Europe. "Ever Growing, Never Ageing" is the motto on Sofia's coat of arms. For over 7000 years Sofia has been a meeting place of
the four directions of the world.Tribes and peoples came and went, civilizations flourished and declined but the city stayed forever. Historically it has been recorded as Serdica, Sredets and Sofia. Over 250 archaeological, historical and cultural monuments that the Thracians, Romans, Byzantines, Slavs, Proto-Bulgarians and Turks created are part of the cityscape of a capital with a population of million.
Today Sofia is a modern and busy capital and a centre of Bulgaria's political, economic and cultural life. The harmony between the past and the present day lends the city its unique charm.
