BULGARIA: Streetart Sofia – Old Knyazhevo Cable Car Station – Vitosha Mountain – Lost Place Graffiti

The old Kopitoto TV Tower is a 186 meter high broadcasting tower located on Vitosha Mountain, south of Sofia, and was built in 1985 to replace the older television tower in the city. Right next to it lies the abandoned ruins of the old Knyazhevo cable car station, which was permanently shut down following an accident in 1992. Over the decades, the skeletal concrete structure has become a true mecca for urban explorers and a fascinating open-air gallery for the local graffiti scene. Today the ruins are covered with colorful pieces, giving the place a raw, industrial charm.

BULGARIA: Streetart Sofia – Iztok – Aleksandar Zhendov Underpass Graffiti Hall

In the Iztok neighborhood of the Bulgarian capital Sofia, an underpass runs beneath Tsarigradsko Shose Boulevard. The entrances and exits are right next to the Aleksandar Zhendov bus stop. And this tunnel under the main road is a veritable urban art gallery with numerous works on its walls. New projects and jams take place there regularly, resulting in official works, and in between writers are also constantly spraying and creating new graffiti. In particular, the awesome local duo ARSEK & ERASE time by time paint fantastic pieces there.
