The Monument of Saint Sofia stands as a striking symbol of the city of Sofia, Bulgaria, embodying wisdom and the spirit of the city. Crafted from bronze and copper, the statue stands at a height of 24 feet and is situated on a towering pedestal, contributing to a total height of about 48 feet, making it a prominent feature against the cityscape. She holds a laurel wreath for fame in one hand and, in the other, an owl symbolizing wisdom, capturing unique photo opportunities at various angles. The statue was erected in 2000 and replaced a Lenin monument, marking a significant cultural shift. Its central location near Serdika metro station makes it accessible after exploring nearby landmarks like the ancient Serdica complex. Photographers will find its stature most photogenic at dusk, silhouetted against the vibrant city skyline.
