Georgi Dimitrov

Yes, like the communist leader. My grandfather thought it was funny and I have been explaining it ever since. I studied archaeology at Sofia University and worked on the Serdica excavations when the metro was being built, which is why my walk starts underground at the Roman crossroads next to the Largo. From there we go past the rotunda of St George, the mosque, the synagogue and the Orthodox cathedral, the four faiths within five minutes of each other, and finish at Alexander Nevsky. Now I show Sofia live on a video call, phone in hand, and I answer questions as they come.
