Roman baths and a later mineral-bath building

Partly explored Roman bath remains lie beneath St Nedelya Church. A separate Central Mineral Baths building, built from 1906 to 1913, now houses Sofia’s Regional History Museum; its National Romantic design pairs with majolica inspired by the European Secession.
