About this audio guide
This guide to the Ancient Serdica Cultural Complex in Sofia follows the Roman city that metro diggers broke into beneath the Largo, and the long, awkward years that followed its discovery. You'll meet the two Serdica metro stations, a deputy mayor with a blunt verdict, and a culture minister facing an angry public in twenty fifteen. Best heard at the railings, looking down at the excavated streets.
