JOURNEY TO THE DAWN OF AGES

The Stara Zagora Region is one of the very few places in the world where the development of human civilization can be traced back to antiquity. Here, civilizations sprung, evolved and thrived, and examples of their struggles are strewn throughout the region. Epic battles, stormy and passionate lives, religious cults all claimed the Stara Zagora Region as theirs. Over the millennia, historical artefacts have surfaced and been preserved, offering today’s visitors an unforgettable journey down the ages.

It was also home of men of letters, spreading enlightenment and introducing the Bulgarian language in church rituals........................... Ref. No 17 on the Map
