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.
The building shown in the photo below houses one of the world’s first elevators and the third to be installed in Europe, following the elevator in Istanbul and the one in the Eiffel Tower. It was put into operation between 1894 and 1895. It could carry only two people with a combined weight of no more than 160 kilograms.
