Будівля ректорату Софійського університету

Будівля ректорату Софійського університету, Administrative building of Sofia University in Sofia, Bulgaria

Description

The Sofia University Rectorate is an administrative building featuring a central structure with side wings and baroque architectural elements along with decorative terracotta mosaics. It houses administrative offices, dean departments, and two academic faculties as the central management hub.

History

Construction occurred in three phases between 1924 and 1985, with the cornerstone ceremony held on June 30, 1924. Brothers Evlogy and Hristo Georgiev donated the land and substantial funds for the university's development in the early 20th century.

Culture

The interior contains ceremonial rooms with stained glass windows showing important figures like Saints Cyril and Methodius.

Practical

The building is accessible as a public space, though it primarily functions as an administrative center where visitor access may be limited. Explore during weekday business hours when the campus is more active and welcoming.

Did you know?

The building preserves private financial records from the Georgiev brothers in its archives, offering insight into the support they provided to the institution in the late 1800s. These documents reveal their family's role as patrons of Bulgarian education during Sofia's early modern period.
