About Reduta
What are the main landmarks in Reduta?
Reduta gathers a run of Sofia's national institutions. Borisova Gradina anchors its green side. The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral raises its gilded domes over the old core, while the National Archaeological Museum, the National Art Gallery of Bulgaria, the Saint Sophia Church and the Seven Saints Church stand among the surrounding streets alongside the National Museum of Natural History.
The Monument to Vasil Levski and the Monument to the Tsar Liberator mark its avenues.
What is the history of Reduta?
Reduta grew as Sofia spread east from its old core toward the open ground of Borisova Gradina. Its name is older than its streets. The park was laid out to the district's south while the churches and galleries of the centre, among them the Saint Sophia Church and the Seven Saints Church, already served the growing capital, and the Monument to the Tsar Liberator honoured the war that freed the city.
The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral rose over that same centre.
Where is Reduta?
Reduta covers a stretch of central Sofia between the old museum core and the green edge of Borisova Gradina, a belt of streets by the National Art Gallery of Bulgaria.
