Plovdiv, Bulgaria - Travel Around The World | Top best places to visit in Plovdiv
Top best places to visit in Plovdiv, Bulgaria
Plovdiv is the second largest city in Bulgaria and one of the oldest cities in the world.
Plovdiv has evidence of habitation since the 6th millennium BC. It has historically developed on seven hills and that’s why it is often referred to as the City of the Seven Hills.
The main city plaza is the Central Square. It used to be a Forum Romanum, the center of ancient public life.
Adjacent to the square is the Garden of Tsar Simeon, a beautiful park with gorgeous singing fountains.
The square is connected to the main walking street, known as Glavnata. The pedestrian zone full of shops, galleries, and cafes.
Along this street is the starting point of many guided tours, located just in front of the Municipality Building.
The street leads to two interesting districts. A bohemian quarter full of artists and pubs, the Kapana.
And to the very enjoyable Old Town, which is free of cars in this area with many cobblestone streets and historic houses turned into museums.
Almost every house in the Old Town has its characteristic exterior and interior decoration.
Plovdiv was selected as the European Capital of Culture thanks to its numerous museums, galleries and cultural events.
Plovdiv has been a gathering center for the Orthodox Christians for centuries, so there are several churches worth a visit, such as:
The Virgin Mary Church,
The very impressive St Marina Church with a unique pillar arcade.
And the Church of St Constantine and Helena which is considered to be among the oldest churches in Bulgaria.
Two mosques have remained in the city since the Ottoman era.
The Imarethane Mosque with different, interesting minaret.
And, in the center, the Dzhumaya Mosque.
Next to it, at the end of Glavnata, is the Ancient Stadium from the Roman times.
Plovdiv was known for most of its history by the name Philippopolis. There are many remains from those times, like:
The Roman Odeon.
The Roman Amphitheater, probably the most famous tourist attraction in the city.
The Small Basilica, the ruins of the early Christian church in recently restored building.
The Eastern Gate, one of the three entrances of the ancient city.
The Roman Fortress, with parts of defensive walls, towers and ancient buildings.
From the fort there is a great view of Plovdiv.

#HandInHand | The Future of the Bishop’s Basilica of Philippopolis | Ep.2/2
Plovdiv is the oldest continuously inhabited city in Europe, where past and future inevitably go hand in hand. People who lived and are still living in the city of the seven hills are the creative element that has shaped its appearance over the centuries.
By stepping on the foundations left by the previous generations, the inhabitants of the ancient Philippopolis created their homes, temples, and streets to continue with their lives and ensure a future for the ones after them.
The Bishop's Basilica of Philippopolis is a place where the continuity between the past and the future is exceptionally obvious. Recognizing the existing historical layering, architects Nikolay Traikov, Krassimir Todorov and Milena Kratchanova are telling the story of how they are bringing this remarkable site back to life.

CHURCH OF THE HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, PLOVDIV
The Church of the Holy Mother of God (Bulgarian: Църква Света Богородица) is a Bulgarian National Revival church in Bulgaria's second largest city Plovdiv. The church is situated in the Old town of Plovdiv on one of the city's seven hills, Nebet Tepe. A small church existed on that place since the 9th century. The church was renovated in 1186 by the bishop of Plovdiv Constantine Pantehi and it became part of a monastery. Both the church and the monastery were destroyed when the Ottoman Turks conquered the city in 1371 during the course of the Bulgarian-Ottoman Wars. The current edifice was constructed in 1844 as the main church of the city. It was a large three-nave pseudo-basilica was built by craftsmen from Bratsigovo and the first ktitors were wealthy merchants from the town of Koprivshtitsa. The iconostasis was made by carvers from Bulgarian School of Debar. Most of the church's icons were created by the painter Nikola of Odrin.
Turkey istanbul Eyup, Ayvansaray Sveti Stefan Kilisesi Bulgarian Iron Church going ayakapı part 2
Bulgarian St Stephen Church (Bulgarian: Църква „Свети Стефан“; Turkish: Sveti Stefan Kilisesi), also known as the Bulgarian Iron Church, is a Bulgarian Orthodox church in Balat, Istanbul, Turkey. It is famous for being made of prefabricated cast iron elements in the neo-Gothic style. The church belongs to the Bulgarian minority in the city.
Ayvansaray is a neighborhood in Istanbul, Turkey. It is part of the district of Fatih and part of the walled city. It lies between the southern shore of the Golden Horn, the Blachernae section of the Walls, and the neighborhoods of Balat and Edirnekapı. It corresponds to the old quarter of Blachernae (Vlachérnai in Greek). The name Ayvansaray is from Persian ایوانسرای (Iwan + Saray) and means Veranda Palace. This name hearkens back to the Palace of Alexios I Komnenos (now disappeared), which was part of the complex of Blachernae.[1]
Ayvansaray has a number of historic monuments, like the Palace of the Porphyrogenitus (Tekfur Palace), the mosque of Atik Mustafa Pasha (originally a medieval Byzantine church), and the Ayazma (holy spring) enclosed in the small church of St. Mary of Blachernae. It is a picturesque quarter.

Bulgaria Travel - Nikopolis ad Istrum walkthrough
Short movie from the ruins of the ancient Roman city Nikopolis ad Istrum, located near Veliko Tarnovo city in Bulgaria.
The city was founded by Trajan around 102–106, as indicated on scene XXXIX of Trajan’s Column, in memory of his victory in the Dacian Wars over the Roxolani and also later victories in 105, and as Ulpia Nicopolis in his honour using his family name, or nomen. However, the name Nicopolis ad Haemum was used in Ptolemy's Geographia dating from before 130.
Trajan clearly intended it to become a magnificent city which is gradually being verified. The monumental character of the city however dates mainly to Hadrian and Antoninus Pius (138-161) and inscriptions found are no earlier than 136 when the name Ulpia Nicopolis ad Istrum was in use.
The city was ransacked by the Costoboci in 170-1, a tribe from today’s Western Ukraine, shortly after which the city walls were built. Many buildings were excluded from the walled area from this time.
The city prospered in the 2nd and 3rd centuries under the Severan dynasty (193-235) and grew more as a major urban centre under Emperor Diocletian's (284-305) reforms. Nicopolis issued coins bearing images of its public buildings.
In 250 near the city, emperor Decius defeated the chi under Cniva.
In 447, the town was destroyed by Attila Huns. Perhaps it was already abandoned before the early 5th century.
The new city had an area of 1/4 of the original city enclosing little more than military buildings and churches, following a very common trend for the cities of that century in the Danube area. The larger area of the extensive ruins (21.55 hectares) of the classical Nicopolis was not reoccupied. The south wall of the old city was reconstructed as the north wall of the new one. Its towers were built upon destroyed and abandoned buildings, and ornamented stone blocks from their facades were used in the new structures. The towers were about 15m in front of the 10m high wall. The outside of the wall was rendered with mortar with incised grooves imitating massive stone blocks.
A Bulgarian medieval settlement arose upon its ruins later (10th-14th century).
Nicopolis ad Istrum can be said to have been the birthplace of Germanic literary tradition. In the 4th century, the Gothic bishop, missionary and translator Ulfilas (Wulfila) obtained permission from Emperor Constantius II to immigrate with his flock of converts to Moesia and settle near Nicopolis ad Istrum in 347-8. There, he devised the Gothic alphabet and oversaw the translation of the Bible from Greek to Gothic, which was performed by a group of scholars.
Aqueduct source octagonal collection basin, Aqueduct underground source
The classical town was planned according to the orthogonal system. The network of streets, the forum surrounded by an Ionic colonnade and many buildings, a two-nave room later turned into a basilica and other public buildings have been uncovered. The rich architectures and sculptures show a similarity with those of the ancient towns in Asia Minor.
The agora contained a statue of Trajan on horseback as well as other marble statues and an Ionic colonnade. The city also had a three-nave basilica, a bouleuterion, a temple of Cybele, a small odeon, thermae (public baths) as well as a unique Roman building inscribed with termoperiatos, a heated building with shops and enclosed space for walks and business meetings. Some town houses and buildings have also been excavated.
The city was supplied by three aqueducts and had several water wells, many of which have been unearthed in archaeological excavations. The western aqueduct of 25km length had a bridge of almost 3km long and almost 20m tall carrying water over the entire valley of the Rositsa River. Its 2nd century AD water catchment reservoir is located near the town of Musina in Pavlikeni municipality, to the west of the Roman city, where it still collects water from the karst springs inside the Musina Cave. A large castellum aquae of this aqueduct stands to the west of the city.
In 2015 remains of a huge building were revealed which was probably the residence of the agoranomus or curule aedile, a public officer in charge of trade and market operations in Ancient Greek and Roman cities.
The obelisk of Quintus Julius, an aristocrat from Nicopolis, still stands to a height of 14m in the countryside near Lesicheri, about 12km west of the city.
Many finds are on display in the Veliko Tarnovo Regional Museum of History.
In 2018, archaeologists found an altar dedicated to the goddess Tyche at a small square in the southwestern corner of the Forum complex, with an inscription in Ancient Greek which is a modified epigram by Demosthenes.

Малката базилика - античното бижу на Пловдив
23.01.2015/ БТА
Един от най-интересните туристически обекти в Пловдив е архитектурният комплекс Малката базилика. Тя е открита случайно по време на строителни дейности през 1988-89 година.Базиликата е била разположена в източните покраинини на античния Филипопол. Строена е вероятно през V-VI век в чест на Базилиск - главният военен командир на провинция Тракия. Тя представлява трикорабна постройка от времето на ранното християнство. Подовите мозайки в базиликата са великолепни и иключително красиви. Те са предимно с геометрични мотиви. Малката базилика е реставрирана основно през 2013 година с помощтта на фондация Америка за България и през 2014 година е отворена за посещения.Видео Владимир Янев - БТА
