The Saint Sofia Monument in Sofia, Bulgaria is an iconic and stunning statue that welcomes visitors to the city. It stands tall and catches the sunlight beautifully, making it hard to miss. However, it is challenging to capture the monument in the same shot with other impressive buildings. Located near other notable landmarks, it is worth a visit. The monument symbolizes justice for all, though its area under it is just the foundation with a subway ventilation system. To fully appreciate its beauty, it is recommended to enjoy it from a distance.

Iconic statue towering and welcoming people to the city. A monument ahead of its time. It catches the sunlight beautifully, and it's pretty much unmissable. Located near other notable landmarks

The monument is iconic and stunning, but the area under it is just the foundation with a subway ventilation system.
So it's better to enjoy it from a distance 😀

It’s been a while since I last saw the monument. From memory, last time was in 2014. If I recall correctly, the monument symbolises justice for all. I may be wrong. Anyway, worth a visit, then wander through the centre to people watch! Worth a .. Read more »visit.

Amidst Sofia's heart, I stroll with grace,
In tulip blossom's vibrant embrace.
A tapestry of colors, petals unfurled,
Nature's masterpiece, a wonderous world.
As I wander through each bustling street,
The air is fragrant, pure and sweet.
Tulips dance with the gentle breeze,
Whispering secrets through the trees.
Their vibrant hues, a joyful sight,
A symphony of red, pink, and white.
Each petal tells a story untold,
Of beauty, resilience, and love untold.
I walk amidst this floral sea,
Where tulips bloom, setting hearts free.
Their delicate presence, a feast for the eyes,
A moment of bliss, beneath sunny skies.
The city pulses with life and glee,
As tulips sway, enchanting me.
They nod their heads in silent cheer,
Inviting dreams to draw near.
I pause in awe, beneath their grace,
Feeling serenity in this sacred space.
Among the tulips, I find my peace,
As their beauty grants my soul release.
With each step I take, my spirit soars,
In Sofia's heart, among tulips galore.
Their splendor weaves a tale divine,
As I walk through this blossoming shrine.
Oh, tulips of Sofia, in full bloom,
You bring life to the city's gloom.
In your presence, I find delight,
As we dance together, day and night.
I cherish this season, pure and bright,
When tulips paint Sofia with sheer delight.
In this enchanting realm, I find my flow,
Walking amidst tulips, my heart aglow.

Beautifully erected in the year 2000, this statue is amazing and even has a light shined on it for better display in the late evening early morning hours.

The symbol of Sofia. A huge statue!
I wonder if the surrounding and the background behind it could be better. If you click the photos from behind you see trash cans

Meant to become a symbol of the city, this relatively recent monument is unfortunately unattractive. Beauty being in the eye of the beholder, some might be in favor. Because of its very central location, you won't have to look for it. It'll.. Read more » find a way into one, or several, of your pictures.

A very controversial monument, symbolizing the city. It is supposed to represent St. Sophia, but in reality it is a statue of an ancient pagan goddess.

I am from Sofia. This statue is such a kitsch. Especially because is not aesthetic by no means. It resembles Tutankhamun...

Sophia was considered too erotic and pagan to be referred to as a saint in this sculpture however it is a symbol now and lovely.

An iconic monument of the revered saint Sofia. Just few meters away from the main administration buildings and above the metro. Easy to reach and also has lot of eating joints close by along with beautiful old orthodox churches.

The statue of the Sofia is one of the symbols of the city. It is located in the center of Sofia and near it are the ministerial council, the president's, Balkan hotel, the church Sveta Nedelya and other important administrative buildings. Right ..

Nearby is also the iconic Vitosha Street, suitable for walking and relaxation, as well as a drink or a meal in the numerous bars and restaurants. Overall I recommend visiting
