The square houses the Bulgarian Parliament and a monument to Alexander II. Behind it is the famous Radisson Hotel, where we were lucky enough to stay. The windows of the hotel overlook the square, which allows you to observe the life of the city. During our stay, there were some tents on the square and life was in full swing in the evening - young people with banners gathered in groups and actively discussed something. If you come here, pay attention to the yellow brick that paves the square. This is not a simple paving stone, but ceramic, it does not absorb water and is very wearable. It is called Zhaltite paveta and since the most important central streets of the city are paved with it, it is one of the symbols of the capital. The tile has only one drawback - it is very slippery in rain and snow. Very close to the square is the famous Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.
