Bulgaria's state exchequer has officially re-inaugurated a high-art stained glass ruined in Sofia's WWII bombardment.
The artistic glass mosaic is one of three stained walls of the Bulgarian National Bank's building, completely ruined 30 March 1944.
Sixty-two years later, the central governor Ivan Iskrov reopened the piece of art, overlooking the eastern staircase of the building, to mark the Day of Bulgarian Enlighteners.
