About this audio guide
This guide to the Presidential Palace in Sofia stands you on the pavement outside its door, among the crowd that gathers just before the hour. It follows the scarlet uniform of Bulgaria's National Guards Unit back to eighteen eighty-three and to Prince Alexander of Battenberg, the young state's first prince, who had a hand in its design. Along the way you'll meet the unit's first woman in the ranks. Best heard facing the two sentries at the entrance.
