Dondukova Garden

Dondukova Garden, Urban park in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

Dondukova Garden is a public park in the Marasha district of Plovdiv, bounded by Sixth September Boulevard and Hristo G. Danov and Beethoven streets. It was laid out in 1878 on the site of the old Turkish cemetery Orta Mezar. The park contains the Natural History Museum, the House of Newlyweds, the Lotus Hall, and monuments to Ivan Vazov, Zahari Stoyanov, and Alexander Burago.

The garden was established in 1878 and named after Alexandre Dondoukov-Korsakov, a Russian governor of the region. French landscape architect Lucien Chevallaz designed the layout according to modern planning principles of that era.

The garden serves as a gathering place where locals enjoy outdoor concerts and community events throughout the year. You will see people walking, sitting on benches, and meeting friends in different corners of the space.

The garden has multiple entrances around its perimeter, allowing access from different streets and near public transportation stops. The pathways are easy to navigate and benches are available throughout for resting.

In autumn 2018 the garden gained Bulgaria's first "ethno-garden": seven crape myrtles (Indian lilac) flowering in different colours, planted by children of the Armenian, Bulgarian, Jewish, Italian, Russian and Turkish communities. The seventh tree stands for all other ethnic groups whose life and culture are tied to Plovdiv.
