Sliven, Municipality seat and industrial center in Sliven Valley, Bulgaria.
Located at the foothills of the Balkan Mountains at 243 meters elevation, Sliven extends across 1,366 square kilometers of urban and natural landscapes.
The city earned recognition during the Bulgarian National Revival in the 19th century as resistance fighters known as Haiduts opposed Ottoman control from their mountain bases.
The Stefan Kirov Drama Theatre, established in 1918, continues to present performances while museums display collections representing regional urban development through centuries.
Multiple transportation options connect Sliven to major cities, with trolleybus services operating within the city and international airports located in Burgas, Varna, and Plovdiv.
An ancient elm tree, designated as European Tree of the Year in 2014, stands as a natural monument with branches once used for executions during Ottoman rule.
