Sliven, Industrial center in east-central Bulgaria.
The city spreads along the foothills of the eastern Balkan Mountains, where the Novoselska and Asenovska rivers join at an elevation of 300 meters.
The Arab traveler Muhammad al-Idrisi first documented Sliven in 1153, following earlier settlements by Thracians, Romans, and Slavs in this strategic location.
The Stefan Kirov Drama Theatre, established in 1918, represents the continuing theatrical traditions of Sliven alongside multiple museums presenting regional artifacts.
Sliven maintains its position as a major textile manufacturing center with numerous factories producing clothing, carpets, and stockings throughout the industrial zones.
The ancient Smooth-leaved Elm tree in the city center, known as Stariyat Briast, stands as a living monument over 1000 years old.
