Sofia was founded 2,500 years ago. The city has been conquered by the Roman and the Ottoman Empires. During World War II Sofia was bombarded by the UK and US Air Forces and at the end of the war, it was seized by the Soviet Army.
The decline of Sofia during the Turkish Ottoman Empire was followed by the rejuvenation after the Russian liberation in 1878, when Sofia was chosen as the capital of Bulgaria, and followed by a brisk and straight-forward period of construction.
