Sofia to create 'Alley of the Forgotten' for notable but overlooked Bulgarians

Sofia is set to create a new public space called the "Alley of the Forgotten," located near the prominent Orlov Most (Eagle's Bridge). This initiative aims to commemorate notable Bulgarians whose significant contributions to the nation have largely gone unrecognized.

The alley will serve as a tribute to individuals who have made a proven impact in various fields, including science, arts, national liberation struggles, philanthropy, spiritual leadership, diplomacy, and sports. The project seeks to bring to light the legacies of those who, at best, are only vaguely remembered by the public.

By establishing this memorial, the city intends to ensure that the achievements of these often-overlooked figures are acknowledged and preserved for future generations. The "Alley of the Forgotten" will provide a tangible connection to Bulgaria's rich history and the diverse talents that have shaped its identity.
