"Sofia Central Market Hall" (or the short name: Halite) is a commercial complex in downtown Sofia, on "Maria Luisa" bulevard, next to the intersection with St. Exarch Joseph. The builing is more than 100 years old and is one of the iconic models of the Bulgarian style "neo-byzantine" architecture of the early XX century. The facades are very rich in stone sculpture and other elements of architectural and artistic synthesis. "Central Sofia Market Hall" is the first modern covered market in Bulgaria. Due to its magnificent architecture in 1955, the building received the status of cultural monument of national importance.
