CentralPlovdiv The second biggest city in Bulgaria is situated beautifully on the two banks of the river Maritsa and on six unique syenite hills (called "tepeta"). Around the three eastern hills the Thracians established the ancient settlement of Evmolpiass, which was later on called Pulpudeva. In the year 342 BC the town was conquered by Philip II of Macedonia and was called Philipopol. During Roman times it was given the name of Trimontsium ("town on three hills"). The Slavs called it Plovdiv. The most interesting place to visit is Old Plovdiv - an architectural and historical reserve, situated on the Three Hills: Bunardzhika, Nebbet, and Sahat Tepe. Here picturesque houses of the National Revival stand close to ruins from antiquity. The central part of the town was formed towards the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The influence of European styles in architecture can be traced. The ancient theatre has been restored, its stage being used even today. Another tourist site is the eastern gate of the fortress, known as Hissar Kapiya, which dates back 2000 years. The modern town is a trade and culture centre. It is a bustle of museums, churches, banks, hotels, cafes, restaurants, cinemas, shops, bars, bazaars, music clubs, casinos etc. Here rest the ruins of a Roman stadium and remnants of the Roman forum; here you can also see several mosques and original Turkish baths. The modern centre provides entertainment and rich cultural life. |
