Bulgaria has a long history. София was once known as Serdica, the capital of the Roman province of Thrace. The Macedonians conquered the city as well as the Huns and the Osmans. To explain this past and the archeological findings of the country, the Bulgarian Archeological Museum was opened in 1905. If you’re surprised by the structures of the building: yes, it was an Ottoman mosque built from 1451 on.
When you enter the building you will find a collection of items from Rome and Greece. Other rooms host items from Paleolithic times to Bronze Age, ancient treasures and items from Medieval times. You can find the National Archeological Museum at the city center close to the Serdika metro station – it is east of the Sveti Georgi Rotunda.
