By a 1984 UNESCO resolution, April 18 is designated as International Day for Monuments and Sites. In honor of this day, we are launching the "Heritage BG" visual quiz. Every day through the end of April, we will post one question on our Facebook page. Along with the question, we’ll feature artifacts, museum exhibits, interesting historical events, and buildings. The winners of the visual quiz will be determined based on their answers to the 12 questions, and the winners will be announced on May 24. The prize pool includes book vouchers.

Question No. 3:
One of the most intriguing and popular exhibits at the Regional History Museum – Sofia is the Louis XVI-style “Golden Carriage.” It is so named because of its many gilded details. Even the fabrics are a golden-yellow color, achieved by dyeing them with South American fruits. The carriage was brought from Versailles to Sofia for the reception of the newlyweds, Prince Ferdinand I of Bulgaria and Princess Maria Luisa of Bourbon-Parma, in 1893. It is a unique exhibit in Bulgaria. Due to its high artistic and historical value, it has the status of a national treasure.
