Boyana Church (UNESCO/NHK)
Located on the outskirts of Sofia, Boyana Church consists of three buildings. The eastern church was built in the 10th century, then enlarged at the beginning of the 13th century by Sebastocrator Kaloyan, who ordered a second two storey building to be erected next to it. The frescoes in this second church, painted in 1259, make it one of the most important collections of medieval paintings. Source: UNESCO TV / © NHK Nippon Hoso Kyokai

Bulgarian History: Bombing of Sofia in 1940's
5 минути София - Бомбардировките над София / 5 minutes Sofia - Bombing of Sofia - YouTube http://buff.ly/1cTmXbb
Бомбардировките над София през Втората световна война са едно от най-големите нещастия, сполетели града през цялата му история. Между есента на 1943 г. и пролетта на 1944 г. повече от 2000 души загиват, централната част на българската столица е разрушена, а някои исторически сгради и улици се изгубват завинаги.
The bombing of Sofia in World War II was one of the biggest disasters in the city's entire history. Between the autumn 1943 and the spring of 1944 more than 2,000 people were killed, the center of Bulgaria's capital was destroyed, historic buildings and streets were lost forever.

„Душата ми е стон, душата ми е зов.
Защото аз съм птица устрелена:
на смърт е моята душа ранена,
на смърт ранена от любов."
На Лора
My soul is grief. My soul is call
Because I am a bird picked off.
To death is doomed my wounded soul --
Soul wounded by the love.

St. Alexander Nevski Cathedral in Sofia, Bulgaria
Ако има символ, който да се откроява най-силно в новата история на София, то това безспорно е Храм-паметник „Свети Александър Невски". Той е един недвусмислен духовен и архитектурен символ в сърцето на столицата. Когато и да се погледне София от високо, първото, което хваща погледа са златните кубета на храма.
If there is a single most prominent symbol in the recent history of Sofia, it is undoubtedly St. Alexander Nevski Cathedral. As a building and a cultural site the cathedral is a true jewel in the crown of the capital.

Няма друго такова място в София, а и много по-надалеч. Темели, в които са вкопани кости и история, свидетелства за вяра и любов, печал и щастие, вълнения и горести... Това е "Света София". И така е вече 1500 години.
You could hardly find a place like this anywhere else. Foundations that conceal bones and history, tell of faith and love, sadness and happiness, excitement and grief... Going back in time for 15 centuries.

From Bulgarian:
5 минути София - Спасяването на българските евреи. Според плана на Гестапо първата група евреи от България трябва да бъде депортирана през март 1943 г. В прецизната организация на нацистите не са предвидени действията на няколко смели мъже, подкрепени от цялото българско общество. Спасяването на 40 000 български евреи е един от големите триумфи на толерантността и цивилизованото мислене, които историята помни.
