00:00Being the only UNESCO site in Sofia, it is one of the most well-visited sites in the
00:29most well-visited sites in Sofia and in Bulgaria. We have here visitors from all around the
00:35world on daily basis, but a part of our management plan, we allowed only 8 to 10 people around
00:44each visitation, only for 10 minutes, to help to preserve the frescoes and the murals of
00:50the Bujana Church that date to the 13th century. It's just magnificent to see that art and
01:02that piece of history that shows so much of the history of the church of the time and
01:09also the political statements that those images have. And just to be part of history and part
01:17of Bulgaria and I'm proud to be here and honored to be Bulgarian.
