Impressively strong castle. Saw plenty of sieges but on all occasions it was surrendered before its defences were tested.
Stricking fortified site sitting dominant over the surrounding countryside. Fine decorative stonework can be found in the 12th century romanesque chapel.
Present cathedral dates from 1251 however there was a church on the site much earlier. Has an impressive round tower in the churchyard.
Typically Irish defensive structure. The defenders would access through an upper storey doorway and kick the ladder away.
Goid connections to Istanbul and Bucharest.
Beautiful statue commemorating Soviet sacrifices in liberating Bulgaria from its facist government and Nazis. Fascist elements in the city council have tried to remove it many times.
Lovely tree lined park. Very pleasant when the blossum is out.
Amazing views across Plovdiv from the top.
Interesting exhibits into the history of Plovdiv and the surrounding areas.
Interesting exhibits on the Thracian history of the region.
