Dimitrovgrad, Municipal center in Haskovo Province, Bulgaria

Located along the Maritsa River in the Thrace region, Dimitrovgrad extends across three former villages with architectural elements from the Soviet period.

The city emerged on May 10, 1947, through the consolidation of Rakovski, Mariyno, and Chernokonyovo villages under Bulgaria's first communist administration.

The national poetry festival Penio Penev, initiated in 1970, continues to gather literature enthusiasts and maintains the city's commitment to artistic expression.

The city stands at the intersection of Pan-European corridors 4, 8, and 9, providing transportation connections to Sofia, which lies 220 kilometers away.

The People's Astronomical Observatory and Planetarium Jordano Bruno offers scientific education and astronomical observations to residents and visitors.
