    Boris Park is the largest public garden in Sofia. A Turkish garrison was located here until the liberation of Bulgaria from the Ottoman Empire in 1878. After 1878, the area was initially rededicated as a Turkish cemetery until the city administration decided to build a park on what was then the south-eastern edge of Sofia. The park was first called Plant Garden or Pepienere, later Tsarist Garden (Tsaristrad = Constantinople = Istanbul), later Boris Garden named after the Bulgarian Tsar Boris III. During the period of socialism it was renamed Freedom Park. From 1990 Boris Garden again. Today the park in the heart of Sofia is a very popular destination for all age groups, especially on weekends.
