Bozhurishte (Bulgarian: Божурище [boˈʒuriʃtɛ]) is a town in western Bulgaria. It is the administrative center of Bozhurishte Municipality in Sofia Province; close to Kostinbrod and the capital Sofia. The old airport of Sofia, now a military one, is near the town. Bozhurishte was first mentioned in 1750. Its name is derived from the flower peony (Bulgarian: божур, romanized: bojur).^[1]
