The statute is of Stefan Stambolov. A notable Bulgarian statesman and revolutionary, as well as a journalist and poet. In 1887 he was appointed Prime Minister and remained in power until 1894. He founded and led the People's Liberal Party until his assassination He has been criticized for his dictatorial methods. He was among the founders of the economic and cultural rise of Bulgaria, which lasted in the decades until the Balkan Wars. It was liquidated for political reasons as it was cut down in the street - that's why this statue is cut in two.

Thank you 🙏

For tourists, I recommend paying for public transport with a card. One ticket for BGN 1.60, after 3 tickets for the day, you automatically get a ticket for the whole day at a price of BGN 4. And you will be able to drive unlimitedly during that day.

I don't think those 11:38 are for wheel chairs. It's for a parent with a baby stroller most likely.
