About this audio guide
This guide to the National Art Gallery in Sofia, housed in the old royal palace, follows a single winter custom: the candle-lit Christmas fir and the princes who brought it indoors in the eighteen-eighties. You'll meet Alexander Battenberg, Princess Clementina, a hall full of schoolchildren, and a town that eyed the whole idea with suspicion. Best heard facing the palace's tall front windows.
