Haskovo, Municipality seat in southern Bulgaria.

Located near the borders of Greece and Turkey, Haskovo spans across 25.5 square kilometers at the foothills of the northern Rhodopes mountains.

The settlement dates back to 5000 BC and transformed from an Ottoman administrative district called Hasköy into a significant Bulgarian commercial center.

The Ivan Dimov Drama Theatre and Museum of History display the heritage of Bulgarian, Turkish, and Roma communities that inhabit the region.

Visitors can reach the city through National Road No. 5 or by train services, with the nearest airport situated in the city of Plovdiv.

The Monument of the Holy Mother of God, standing at 32 meters high, holds the record as the tallest Virgin Mary statue in existence.
