Strelbishte

Strelbishte is a residential area in the south of Sofia, part of the Triaditsa district. It borders P. Yu. Todorov Blvd., South Park and the Ivan Vazov market to the east, Gotse Delchev Blvd. to the south, and Bulgaria Blvd. to the northwest.

The name ("shooting range") comes from the firing ranges of the soldiers of the First and Sixth Infantry Regiments that were once located here. The area developed after the wars of national unification in the early 20th century, and today it combines panel, brick, EPK and modern buildings. The first panel blocks were built in the late 1960s, and almost all buildings have central heating.

Strelbishte is one of Sofia's best-connected neighborhoods by public transport - tram, trolleybus and bus lines run along its edges. There is no metro station in the neighborhood itself.

The neighborhood is home to the Second English Language School "Thomas Jefferson", the National Vocational High School of Printing and Photography and the 126th Primary School. Being next to South Park is one of the biggest advantages for residents.
