Stara Zagora, Regional capital in central Bulgaria
This sixth largest Bulgarian city sits in the Upper Thracian Plain, surrounded by vineyards, orchards, and the southern foothills of the Sredna Mountains.
The settlement dates to the 7th millennium BC, later becoming the Roman city Augusta Traiana and the second most important center in the Thrace province.
The Regional History Museum holds over 100,000 artifacts documenting the evolution of the region from ancient times through contemporary periods.
The city contains a network of trolleybuses and regular buses connecting major points, while maintaining excellent railway connections to Sofia and the Black Sea.
The Neolithic Dwellings Museum preserves mid-6th millennium BC homes, representing one of the most complete prehistoric settlement collections in Europe.
