Cyril and Methodius Statue at the National Library.

Description:

This is the National Library of Bulgaria with the statues of saints Cyril and Methodius in Sofia the capital of Bulgaria.

The previous national library was destroyed by bombs in 1944 during world war 11.

The current building dates from 1953.

This building in the neoclassical style was designed by Bulgarian architects Ivan Vasiliov and Dimitar Tzolov.

Saints Cyril and Methodius were saintly brothers and originators of the Cyrillic alphabet used in Russia, Bulgaria and other adjoining countries.

Now that Bulgaria has joined the EEC the Cyrillic is the third official alphabet of the EU.

Getting good panoramas is quite tricky but one of the most important points is to use manual exposure and photo settings – not automatic.
