I visited a few iconic places today to celebrate the national holiday.
The Nevski Cathedral, St. Sofia with the eternal flame, and King Samuil’s statue.
This is King Samuil, watching if you click like.
The other cathedral, St. Nedelya (we have two), the Largo with the St. Sofia statue in the distance, and the president’s office with the guards.
Vitosha Boulevard, The Palace of Justice (The Court House), and The Parliament, with the Horse, an ancient TV truck, and the Cathedral in the background.
There will be fireworks in the evening. I hope we have a chance to go and watch them in person.

I love the architecture and that statue looks mean. He must be significant to the area.

King Samuil looks like he was quite a character.

These are wonderful places and architecture. The King looks angry.

There’s actually a facial reconstruction of this particular king so we have a rough idea how he looked at the latest stages of his life. The led lightbulbs in the eyes are based on historic facts 😀

They created all that. How do those light bulbs work, they show his life?
