Sofia Court House, Judicial building in central Sofia, Bulgaria.
The Sofia Court House spans 8,500 square meters with a white limestone facade, featuring five gates and twelve columns across its front elevation.
Construction of the six-story judicial building started in 1929 and concluded in 1940, following the establishment of the Judicial Buildings fund in 1926.
The structure incorporates Classical, Roman, and Byzantine architectural elements throughout its exterior decorations, doors, windows, and supporting brackets.
The building contains 430 rooms, including 24 courtrooms, a library, and a bank hall, spread across four floors above ground and two underground levels.
Between 1980 and 1998, the structure temporarily housed the National Museum of History, shifting from its primary judicial function.
