The municipality has formed a working group to prepare proposals for amendments to the Cultural Heritage Act and a mechanism by which property owners of cultural value are encouraged to repair and maintain them, the 24 Hours newspaper writes.

Among them is the St. George Rotunda, located behind the building of the Presidency. The Rotunda dates back to the beginning of the 4th century and the times of Emperor Constantine the Great (306-337), who had repeatedly resided in Serdica and who used to say: "Serdika – this is my Rome"
