Petrich, Border town in southwestern Bulgaria
Petrich stands in the Sandanski-Petrich Valley at an elevation of 168 meters, near the meeting point of Bulgarian, Greek, and North Macedonian borders.
The settlement integrated into the Bulgarian territory during Boris I reign between 852 and 889, developing from an ancient Thracian settlement named Petra.
The town maintains multiple monuments and structures from different periods, including the Church of the Assumption constructed in 1857 by the Christian community.
The Mediterranean climate of Petrich creates conditions for extensive agricultural production, particularly focusing on fruits, vegetables, and tobacco cultivation.
The town experienced an international incident in 1925 when Greek forces invaded the region, leading to intervention by the League of Nations.
