Ayazmo Park, Urban park in Stara Zagora, Bulgaria.
Ayazmo Park is an urban green space in Stara Zagora that spans multiple elevation levels and features diverse plant life throughout its landscape. Paved pathways wind through the area, connecting different sections and making exploration easy for visitors.
The space was established in 1895 by Metropolitan Methodius Kusev as a green area named 'St. Prince Boris-Mihail'. This transformation of barren hillside into parkland marked an important moment in the city's development.
The name Ayazmo stayed alive among local residents even when authorities renamed it during the socialist era. People in the city continued using the original name in their daily conversations and gatherings.
The space has several entrances and includes benches and picnic areas, with the main access point close to the city. Visitors should be prepared for varying elevation changes and wear comfortable shoes for walking the paths.
Local records describe a spring within the park that connects to a significant religious moment from 864. This historical connection makes the spot memorable for many who visit.
