Medieval History
A large complex of small Christian churches has been gradually unearthed by Bulgarian archaeologists in downtown Sofia during continuing excavations at the construction sites of the Sofia Metro.
During the excavations near the Serdica metro station and the TZUM department store in the downtown of the Bulgarian capital last summer, the archaeologists found the remains of a medieval church.
They have now found two more medieval churches dating back to the 14th and 16th centuries located within 70 meters from one another, archaeologist Snezhana Goryanova has revealed.
