Sofia is an old city, second oldest in Europe. In its lifetime, the city has seen many empires come and go – Roman, Bulgarian, Ottoman, and the most recent, the Soviet. And each time an empire fell, its remnants have been renounced, abandoned, eventually re-considered, and finally re-absorbed into the fabric of the city. The most recent imperial remnants are still strewn about the city, many in the state of abandonment – and now is the time to begin to soak in these memories, and make them part of complex, functional, rich urban fabric of Sofia.
