Considered a contemporary of Troy, Plovdiv is a further example of how Bulgaria acted as a melting pot on the Balkan peninsular.  

The remains of bygone epochs and diverse cultures contribute to the enchantment and remarkable appearance of the town romantically situated on seven hills. The old town of Plovdiv, in particular, is announced an architectural reserve.

The landmark representing genuine interest to all visitors is the remains of the Antique Theater, built by the mighty Emperor Trayan during the II century AD. Nowadays, a large number of people are easily attracted to the events and show performances held at the ancient site.

Another trademark of the reserve town are the Bulgarian Revival Houses with the typical symmetrical architectural style – fascinating combination of western and oriental influence perched on the meandering cobbled streets. Most of the houses function as galleries and museums welcoming each and every traveler to dive in the inviting ambience of Plovdiv.
