Plovdiv - Bulgaria`s second largest city is a worthy rival to Sofia. Its situation astride the river Maritsa and its three hills which are prominent features of the Thracian plain, indicate its strategic significance and account for its long tradition as an inhabited place. Here Thracians, Romans, Byzantines, Ottoman Turks an Bulgarians have all made an architectural impression.
Plovdiv is very, very old. The Eternal City, as Rome is conventionally called, is much younger. Athens, Carthage and Constantinople came into being later. Cultural capital of Europe for 1999. And if you are in the mood of adventure, explore the famous Bachkovo Monastey (11th c.) nestled amidst the slopes of the Rhodope Mountains nearby. Enjoy the murals (17th c.) of the monastery's churches.
