Sofia City Province is the capital, its ancient ruins and the slopes of Vitosha.
In Sofia, Roman Serdica lies under the streets, visible in metro stations and courtyards. See the golden domes of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, the National Archaeological Museum and the National Historical Museum. On the edge of the city, the small Boyana Church has frescoes of 1259 on the UNESCO list, and Mount Vitosha rises above it all.
