Asenovgrad, Municipality seat in Plovdiv Province, Bulgaria
Asenovgrad stretches along both banks of the Asenitsa River, at 269 meters elevation between the Thracian Plain and Rhodope Mountains.
The settlement, established by Thracians around 300 BC, changed rulers from Roman to Byzantine empires before becoming part of the Bulgarian state.
The city contains numerous religious buildings and monasteries, with the National Museum of Natural History displaying Bulgaria's largest collection of Neogene vertebrates.
