Central Sofia Market Hall, Covered market in central Sofia, Bulgaria
The three-story commercial structure features a Neo-Renaissance facade with a central clock tower displaying three separate time dials at its peak point.
Architect Naum Torbov designed the market hall in 1907, leading to its construction from 1909 to 1911 as Sofia's first major indoor shopping venue.
The main entrance showcases a relief of Sofia's coat of arms created by artist Haralampi Tachev, representing the city's municipal identity.
The market operates daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, containing 169 stores across three levels with products ranging from food to clothing.
The basement level contains preserved archaeological remains from Roman Serdica, including sections of an ancient Thracian sanctuary near mineral springs.
