Description
Sofia is Bulgaria's capital and one of the oldest capitals in Easteren Europe. Founded thousands of years ago , today it continues to develop as the country's cultural and economic center.
Sofia has been settled for many millennia. In honor of its hot springs , in the 8th century BCE the Tracian tribes settled here gave the city its first name - Serdika or Serdonpolis.
Serdika was the favorite city of Constantine the Great ( regn 306-337) , who said: "Serdika is my Rome!".
Sofia preserves many valuable monuments to its long and storied past. Visitors exploring the city's streets can see remnants of The Easteren Gate from the days when Sofia was Serdika,dating from 2nd -4th centuries CE. The oldest church in Sofia is teh Saint George Rotunda. It is thought that the church was built in the 6th century , during the reign of Constantine the Great.
