The city center of Sofia. It's a shoping mall surrounded from The home of Cinema, the Centra Bath (now museum of Soifa) and the free mineral water.

Although every visitor to Sofia sees this big building in the city center, most never peer inside. You will find many stalls where to buy local food, some second hand cloth shops and even a bar in the center. Once outside, and looking around it, you will be sorrounded by the main temples of two religions: the big building of the Jewish Synagogue and the Bany Bashi Mosque, which resembles the ones in Istanbul as it was designed by the architect Sinan.

The oldest closed market in Sofia. Local products, food to take away, supermarket, nice bakeries, olives stall etc. Have BGN in cash, as many places do not accept EURO or card payments.

The Central Sofia Market Hall is a covered market in the center of Sofia city, on Maria Louise Blvd. also known as Halite . It was opened back in 1911 and today is an one of the strategic shopping locations in the city. The style is Neo-Renaissance, and features elements of Neo-Byzantine as well as Neo-Baroque architecture. Interesting features on the facade include the relief of the coat of arms of Sofia above the main entrance and the famous small clock tower with three dials on top of the edifice. The building was originally constructed with 4 entrances, only 3 are used today. The building was designed by architect Naum Torbov in ‘Renaissance’ style, combined with traditional elements of the Hellenistic tectonics. Above the main entrance, in an arched area, is depicted the coat of arms of the city by the artist Haralambi Tachev. Above it, in an arched turret, was mounted a clock with a triple clock-face. The building is the work of the distinguished craftsman from Kostur (which today is the greek city Kastoria) – Tarpo Kiselinchev, who was among the most prominent artificers – builders of the Ottoman Empire. His son, Georgi, also became a good builder and participated in the construction of the “Market Hall” and the Central Mineral Baths in Sofia. Works of the Kostur construction fellowship are also the tiling of the “St. Alexander Nevsky” church, the American College and others. In 1988, the “Market Hall” was closed for reconstruction and renewal, which, due to the political changes and the change of municipal authorities went through many ups and downs. On May 30th 2000, the building of the “Market Hall”, following an internal architectural reconstruction, was once again opened. Today, the three-stores commercial bazaar houses 169 stores and 1,000 employees. On the basement floor are preserved and exposed archaeological remains from the Roman times, of the old city of Serdica. According to archaeologists, on the very same site was situated the Thracian “Sanctuary of the Nymphs”, built around one of the many mineral springs.
