See early Christian tombs from Serdica

Two early Christian tombs

Two early Christian tombs from the ancient Roman city of Serdica (nowadays Sofia) would be displayed in the yard of the National Museum of History. The National Museum of History is not part of the tour yet but if you have the chance, it’s a must-see together with the Boyana Church which is located nearby.

“The preserved early Christian tombs at the necropolis of ancient Serdica are a unique project and a new tourist culture attraction,” Rashidov said Thursday at the opening of two preserved early Christian tombs, displayed in the yard of the National Museum of History.

“Constantine the Great has said that Serdica was the new Rome. Thanks to these tombs one could see that Sofia is a very important city with a very important heritage. I am honored to say that the United States had the opportunity to support the project,” said the US Ambassador to Bulgaria, James Warlick.
