The Vrana Palace – the residence of the monarchs of Bulgaria, located in the outskirts of Sofia. The residence includes a Park, a two-storey hunting Lodge and the Palace itself, which freely combines elements of several historical styles (from modern to French classicism), but is dominated by a Venetian-Dalmatinska motives. It is noteworthy that the furniture and panelling in one of the Palace rooms created from Karelian birch, which the Bulgarian rulers gave Alexander III.

The first owner of land near Sofia became king Ferdinand I, who acquired it in 1898. Two-storey hunting Lodge was built in 1904, and from 1909 to 1914 he passed the construction of the main Palace. In 1906 began the construction of various outbuildings for a future farm. Since 1912, the farm officially renamed the Palace of Vrana.

In 1918, the residence passed from Ferdinand to Boris III, who arranged the Palace headquarters of the government in the coup d'état in June 1923.

During the Second world war the Palace was seriously damaged from the massive allied bombing, but was rebuilt in the short term as updated residence Georgi Dimitrov. It is known that the body of the second Tsar of Bulgaria Boris III was secretly reburied in the Park. After another change of government and the fall of the regime of the Communists, the king's heart was exhumed and transferred this time to the Rila monastery.

In 1998, according to the decision of the constitutional court, the Palace, it was agreed to return to Simeon Saxcoburggotha, the former king. Since 2002, Simeon is a hunting Lodge, which once built by his grandfather Ferdinand I.
