Plovdiv, Ancient city center in Plovdiv, Bulgaria
The urban center spreads across six hills near the Maritsa River, containing numerous Roman structures, Bulgarian Revival mansions, and Ottoman period buildings.
Philip II of Macedon established the city in 342 BCE, which later served as a Roman provincial capital named Trimontium and Byzantine stronghold.
The Roman Theater from the 2nd century remains operational for performances, while the Ethnographic Museum displays 40,000 artifacts related to Bulgarian traditions.
The central area contains numerous hotels, restaurants, and shopping venues, with regular connections to Sofia through railway and bus services.
The Kapana district features a network of small streets filled with artisan workshops, independent galleries, and craft studios dating from medieval times.
