The image displays an archaeological site in the urban center of Sofia, Bulgaria, identified as part of the Roman Serdica complex, with the Council of Ministers building and the National Archaeological Museum visible in the background. In the foreground, partially excavated ancient ruins dominate the lower half of the frame. These ruins consist of weathered walls constructed from alternating layers of reddish-orange bricks and irregular grey-brown stone masonry, indicating Roman-era construction. Several sections of these walls, some reaching approximately 1.5 meters in height, exhibit varying degrees of decay. To the immediate right, a paved area of reddish-brown rectangular bricks shows minor discoloration and sparse lichen growth. Two large, fragmented carved stone objects, appearing to be architectural remnants, are situated among the brick structures on the right. Shadows from the ruins are cast across the paved ground, indicating a high sun angle. The midground features a narrow, manicured green space separating the archaeological remains from a paved urban road. Three sedans—one black, one dark blue, and one silver—are parked parallel to the curb on this road. A large, mature deciduous tree with dense green foliage stands prominently in the center-right of this midground section. The background is dominated by multi-story urban buildings under a clear, bright blue sky. To the left, a tall, light-colored building with numerous rectangular windows and visible external air conditioning units displays classical architectural detailing, including cornices and decorative elements. To the center-right, another multi-story building with a slightly darker, beige facade is visible. Further to the right, a distinctive red-brick building with arched windows and a more ornate upper structure, identifiable as the National Archaeological Museum, completes the background. No individuals are present in the scene. The overall environment suggests a well-maintained historical site integrated within a modern city on a sunny day.
