Check out the Triangular Tower of Serdica, a unique monument of Roman architecture in the heart of Sofia.

The Triangular Tower was built in the middle of the 5th century CE, during the time of Emperor Justinian, who ruled the Eastern Roman Empire (also known as the Byzantine Empire).

Justinian wanted to reconstruct the fortifications of Serdica, after the city was damaged by barbarian invasions. He added an external brick belt to the existing stone wall, and erected several towers along the perimeter.

The Triangular Tower was one of these towers, and it had a unique shape, with its exterior apex oriented northwards.

The landmark is situated on Maria Luisa Boulevard and you can enter to see it for free.
