    The Former Communist Party Building and present National Assembly.....there's also the entrance to the metro station in the subway at the front with the church of St Petka
    On top of the pilon there was once a rubin red star, that I think was lit in the night. After the fall of the communism in 1989 it was taken away as an unwanted symbol of the old regime. The right side was put on fire during a political demonstration...
    The building on the left is TZUM - the biggest shopping mole in Sofia and on the righ it's the Sheraton Hotel

    The changing of the guard is always fun to watch. Guards are stationed on the east side of the large goverment building located directly behind the Sofia Sheraton. Or directly across the street from the Archealogical Museum.

    There used to be a star on the high metal pole on the roof of the building. Follow the yellow brick road (in true Wizard of Oz style) and you can still se where a group of protestors set fire to the building during the period which saw the collapse of the communist state.

    During the comunist government (the middle part of XX c.) this was the Party house. Nowadays this is one of the buildings of the parliament.

    The only other activity of note I saw was the changing of the guard outside the Prime Minister's residence.
