• The Rotunda Church of St George - This Late Antique red brick rotunda is located in Sofia, Bulgaria. Originally built as Roman baths in the early 4th century, it later became a church within the walls of Serdica, the capital of ancient Dacia Mediterranea during the Roman and Byzantine Empires.
• Ancient Serdica Archaeological Complex - This ancient cultural and communication complex, “Serdica,” includes areas with various purposes, divided into two zones. The “Largo” zone, beneath Nezavisimost Square, incorporates archaeological remains into a cultural event site. The second part of the complex features an archaeological exhibition under Knyaginya Maria Luiza Boulevard. Excavations from 2010 to 2012, during Sofia’s central reconstruction and the second Metro line construction, revealed several insulae along the Roman city’s main streets, where the city elite’s houses were located. Within a 6000 m2 area, parts of six streets, two early Christian basilicas, thermae, and five buildings with residential, production, and trade functions are visible.

Four years later, hotel construction was halted due to a lack of funds. After World War II, the large bath was restored and declared a monument of local cultural importance. Due to depreciation, the building closed to visitors in 1986 and was abandoned after 1989. In the mid-1990s, restoration began, and since 2015, it has housed the Museum of History of Sofia.
