During the 18th and 19th centuries, Bulgaria experienced a period of National Revival. This period is remarkable for its characteristic architecture which can still be observed in most buildings in the Old Town, many of which now converted into museums.
The Kuyumdzhioglu House, with an impressive façade built in 1847, stands out for its beauty and for being the seat of the Regional Ethnographic Museum.
The highest point of the Old Town is known as Nebet Tepe (the Guardians Hill). There are the ruins of the ancient Thracian city, more than 4,000 years old. From there you can also enjoy interesting views of the city.
