Bulgaria Square (Bulgarian: Площад „България“, romanizedPloshtad "Bulgaria"; also known as National Palace of Culture Park) is a square in Sofia, Bulgaria.[1] The National Palace of Culture is located in the square.[2]

The square covers an area of over 60,000 m2 (600,000 sq ft).[3] It was constructed during the early 1980s, and underwent its first complete renovation in 2017.[3]

The square is served by the NDK Metro Station.[4]

The monument 1300 Years of Bulgaria [bg] was located in this square until the monument was dismantled in 2017.[5][6]

In 2022, the first water fountains in the city to provide drinking water for people and their pets, as well as water spouts to cool down with, were installed in the square.[7]
