Pretty outside, but nothing spectacular. I suppose it stands out because of Sofia's overwhelming lack of beautiful buildings. I have never been inside.

The University has also a small garden which is hidden from the street side, it's on the back side entrance. The stairs with the two statues in front of the main entrance is a famous meeting... More

I would give it a very good rating if it was not for the toilet. It was very dirty and there were no toilet papers nor soap. The building itself was great.

Well, I cannot even understand since when a University is a monument. The Saint Kliment is consisting of different faculties and buildings.

Amazing historic building - even inside still got the old style desks and nice painted glass. Majestic atmosphere in the big halls and stairs. Have been studing there for 4 years in the late 90s, so know the bulding very well. At the back around the area you can find great pizza restaurants and coffee shops, as well as a... More
