Vratsa, Administrative center in northwestern Bulgaria
The city extends at the base of Vrachanski Balkan mountain range, featuring natural formations including caves, waterfalls, and the significant Vratsata Pass.
The settlement originated from Thracian times and developed through Roman and Byzantine periods before becoming a strategic point during the First Bulgarian Empire.
The Regional Historical Museum in Vratsa holds the Rogozen Treasure, containing numerous Thracian silver vessels that represent ancient metalworking techniques.
