Old Parliament House, Sofia

Situated in downtown Sofia, it was designed in Neo-Renaissance style by Konstantin Jovanović, a Serbian-Bulgarian architect who received his education in Vienna and Switzerland and whose other works include the Parliament of Serbia building.

[1] The building was originally painted in an off-white hue, but since the latter part of the 20th century has been white.

[3] Due to insufficient space in the main building at Parliament Square, some administrative offices of the National Assembly are now housed in the former headquarters (Партийния дом, Partiyniya dom, "the Party House") of the Bulgarian Communist Party, located at the Largo.

There has been a proposal that the entire National Assembly be permanently moved to the former Bulgarian Communist Party headquarters building, with its inner courtyard being converted into an interior space for the plenary chamber, which happened in 2020.

[5] After the April 2021 Bulgarian parliamentary election, the National Assembly moved again to the old Parliament House because the new opposition led-majority (ITN, Democratic Bulgaria, ISMV) viewed the Party House building as a symbol of Bulgaria's communist past.
