Sofia >
As noted above, Sofia has the BEST public sculptures I've seen in any city. And they are all so brooding and dark.
this monument is dedicated to one of Bulgaria's greatest heroes and statesmen..His name is Stefan Stambolov and he was the prime minister of the country in thelate 19th cen. What happened to him is that he was murdered by a guy who sliced his head with a sword in the centre of Sofia. Brooding.. but true...

Most of the public sculptures are *monuments* - dedicated to artists, poets, and in many cases people who died during the wars & occupation periods. That's why they are serious.
