Stara Zagora, Administrative center in Upper Thracian Plain, Bulgaria

Located 230 kilometers from Sofia, Stara Zagora extends across the central Bulgarian plains with wide boulevards and numerous green spaces at 196 meters elevation.

The area contains remnants from 8,000 years of civilization, including preserved Neolithic dwellings from the 7th millennium BC and ruins of the Roman city Augusta Traiana.

The Regional History Museum displays over 100,000 artifacts spanning multiple periods, while the Museum of Religions occupies a structure that served different faiths through centuries.

The city connects to major Bulgarian destinations through regular train and bus services, with direct routes to Sofia, Plovdiv, and the Black Sea coast.

The Defenders Memorial Complex features a monumental brutalist sculpture depicting a Russian officer with six Bulgarian volunteer fighters from the 1877 liberation war.
