Kocherinovo is a small town in western Bulgaria in the Kyustendil Oblast with around 2000 inhabitants. Time runs differently here and you can immerse yourself in various scrap metal shops in town. There is a hodgepodge of stuff here, it’s almost like a small historical and nostalgic museum.

It may be a small town, but an important and artistically impressive memorandum was erected here in 1981. A huge sculputer complex in honor of „1300 years of Bulgaria“ or also titled „Founder of the Bulgarian State“. The oversized monument in a cubic construction was erected on a plateau above the city and designed by the Bulgarian sculptors KRUM DAMYANOV and IVAN SLAVOV.

We had already an article about streetart and the city tours in Sofia. In the following story we want to tell you a bit more especially about the Sofia Graffiti Tour and some little streetart gimmicks, we found during our expedition through Bulgaria´s capital. The Graffiti Tour starts on the four days between Friday and Monday always at 3 pm at the corner of „Todor Alexandrov“ and „Bratya Miladinovi“ in front of the Statue of Sofia close to the metro station Serdika and is definitly recommendable. We were very lucky that day, no one else was taking part at the tour, so we had our tour guide Niki Borisov just for ourselves and could even ask and discus more.

On our last trip we went to the Balkan for some days, more precisely to Bulgaria and it´s beautiful capital Sofia. The weather was kind of unfavorable, from rain to little snow storms, but still we could explore this interesting city extensively and brought you a lot of marvelous streetart fotos and graffiti material. The country and the city looks back over 6000 years of history shaped by a lot of different cultures during the centuries. Everywhere you can find protected monuments and archaeological excavation originated from the Roman Empire, which were found during road work or tunnel bores. The medieval Bulgaria is everywhere integrated in newer buildings, you can see architecture from the Ottoman occupation and everywhere in between there is the distinctive Eastern Bloc design of the communism. All of this commingles in different ways with the modern Bulgaria. Very cool!
