زمینه فرهنگی

The 'Yellow Cobblestones' (Жълтите павета) in Sofia are a symbol of the 'голям град' and political power. The phrase often carries a connotation of 'opportunity' in developing nations, including Bulgaria. Many Bulgarian cities were 'fortresses' (градове) during the Ottoman period, which influenced the word's meaning. On Bulgarian social media, #голямград is often used for aesthetic photos of urban architecture.
