Location

Serdika II Metro Station (Bulgarian: Метростанция „Сердика II“) is a station on the Sofia Metro in Bulgaria. It was put into operation on August 31, 2012 and the station became transfer station between the Red and Blue lines together with Serdika, however it is not a true transfer station (that role is filled by Obelya), but a tunnel-connection transfer station. Bulgaria's PM Boyko Borisov and the President of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso inaugurated the new section of the Sofia Metro, which was funded with EU money. The initial project name of the Metro Station was Sveta Nedelya Square, but this was changed by the city council shortly before the opening of Line 2.

The station is named after the ancient city of Serdica, as it lies in the very centre of the hitherto unearthed ruins of that city. These are located about 20 feet below ground and a large section of the old city has been exposed and is in full view both around and inside the two stations, especially Serdika II.
