Panagyurishte, Industrial town in Sredna Gora mountains, Bulgaria.

Panagyurishte sits in a small valley 91 kilometers east of Sofia, with the Luda Yana river flowing through its mountainous landscape.

The town gained recognition as the central point of the 1876 April Uprising against Ottoman rule, leading to international attention and support.

The Panagyurishte History Museum displays replicas of the pure gold Thracian treasure discovered in 1949, dating from the 4th-3rd centuries BC.

The municipality includes nine settlements and maintains industrial sectors focused on copper extraction, optical technology manufacturing, and traditional crafts.

Local goldsmiths developed specific metalworking techniques during the 19th century, contributing to the town's reputation as a center of craftsmanship.
