Coat of arms of Plovdiv
Plovdiv is one of the most ancient towns in the world. IT IS RECOGNISED AS THE WORLD’S SIXTH MOST ANCIENT TOWNS AND THE EUROP’S MOST ANCIENT CONSTANTLY-POPULATED TOWNS WITH ITS 8 THOUSAND YEARS OF EXISTENCE. Created by the Thracians in the 11th century BC, fortified by Philip the Macedonian, it was conquered by Romans, Celts, Goths, Byzantines and Turkish. Its numerous names symbolize different epochs and events.
IN 2019 PLOVDIV WAS THE CULTURAL CAPITAL OF EUROPE.
The role of the town is particularly significant during the Bulgarian Revival.
The thriving of crafts and trade made it possible to use the accumulated funds to raise magnificent buildings and houses which are preserved to the present day in the architectural reserve The Old Plovdiv. A lot of the buildings are now museums. Now Plovdiv is the second largest town in Bulgaria after the capital - Sofia. It has population of over 500 000 people. The town is built in the skirts of seven hills. Therefore it is often called „The town of the seven hills”.
The Old Town is a preserved Medieval part on one of the hills. This remarkable historical and architectural reserve Old Town is included in the UNESCO List of the World heritage.
