Hidden in a courtyard surrounded by the Presidency and the Sofia Hotel Balkan, the Rotunda of St George was built by the Romans in the 4th century and is the oldest building in Sofia. Inside, layers of frescoes from the 10th to the 14th centuries look down from the dome, and around it lie the remains of Roman streets.
