Bulgaria's capital Sofia will very soon say farewell to its popular and beloved book market located at the Slaveykov Square.
The news was announced Tuesday by the Mayor of Sofia, Yordanka Fandakova, who says the book stands will be moved to another designated area in the city. The nearby Garibaldi Square and the area around the monument of Patriarch Evtimiy will also be fully remodeled.
The works at the Garibaldi Square will be completed in the next two weeks for the estimated cost of BGN 20 000.
On June 13, the monument of Giuseppe Garibaldi of Bulgarian sculptor, Georgi Chapkanov, will be erected on the square.
The official ceremony will be attended by Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, and his Italian counterpart, Silvio Berlusconi.
All book stands will be dismantled from Slaveykov Square by then, the City Hall promised.
