Plovdiv Old Town in Plovdiv, Bulgaria

Ancient Plovdiv Architectural Reserve is a well-preserved complex where on a relatively small area visitors can take walks through different historical ages, see ancient buildings adapted to the modern way of life and feel the spirit of the town from the Bulgarian Revival Period.

The Old Town, as the complex is known, lies on a natural elevation – the three hills (the closely situated Dzhambaz Hill, Nebet Hill, and Taksim Hill). Many peoples have inhabited this place through the centuries. And all of them have left traces of their cultures and also the different names they gave to the town. Plovdiv is one of the oldest towns in Europe – it dates back to 4000 years BC. During Antiquity the Thracians came to the hill and set up a fortified settlement that was conquered by Philip of Macedon in the 2nd century BC. He gave one of the many names of the town - Philipopolis, and surrounded it with thick fortification walls. Later the Thracians regained control over the town, but after a series of battles they lost it to the Romans in the 1st century. A fortress from Thracian times is preserved on the very summit of Nebet Hill.

During the reign of the Roman Empire Plovdiv (then called Trimontium) was an important district centre. The town flourished and there was a construction boom of buildings, equipment and roads.

Many well-preserved remains have survived from the prospering town, such as paved streets, fortification walls, buildings, water-supply system and sewerage. Trimontium expanded so much that it grew out of its walls and this called for the construction of new ones. Many parts of the town were located at the foot of the hill rather than on it.

Some of the more interesting sites from the Roman Period are the Roman Theatre, the Roman Stadium, the Ancient Forum, and Irene Residential House.

The Roman Theatre (the Amphitheatre) lies in a natural depression between Taksim and Dzhambaz Hills. It was constructed during the rule of Emperor Trajan (beginning of the 2nd century). It is extremely well-preserved. It used to have rich decoration and could seat up to seven thousand spectators. After it has been thoroughly restored, today performances can once again be staged at the ancient theatre.

The Roman Stadium is located beneath Dzhumayata Square where only part of it is visible. It was built in the 2nd century and was designed after the Stadium at Delphi – there are only 12 such stadiums in the world.

The Ancient Forum lies near Tsentralen Square, in close proximity to the Central Post Office. It was built in the 1st century during the reign of Emperor Vespasian. It is a complex comprising buildings, a library, a mint, an odeon, etc.

Irene Residential House can be seen in the Archaeological Underpass on Tsar Boris III Blvd. It has very rich mosaic decoration which includes a portrait of a woman signed with the name Irene and dates back to the 3rd – 4th centuries.

This was followed by the Byzantine period of the town – end of the 4th century. Not long after that the Slavs also came to this place – they named the town Paldin.

When the First Bulgarian Empire was established (7th century) Paldin was left outside of its borders. Khan Krum (who reigned in the period 803 – 814) was the first to conquer the town in 812, and it became official part of the state under Khan Malamir (who ruled in the period 831 – 836). The Byzantines managed to conquer it back, but with a varying success. In the course of time the control over the town switched many times, and there was even a brief period when it was governed by the knights of the Fourth Crusade. In 1344 the Bulgarians eventually gained control over the town.

The popular eastern fortress gate Hisar Kapia (Fortress Gate) is a remnant from the Middle Ages.

The Ottoman army conquered Plovdiv in 1364 and gave new direction to the development of the town. The Byzantine architecture was succeeded by a completely new construction style with typical Oriental features. The new name of the town was Filibe. Dzhumaya Mosque (located in the centre of the town, next to the Ancient Stadium), Chifte Bath (built in 1582 and transformed into a centre for modern arts), and the 16th century Clock Tower on the summit of Sahat Hill are all surviving examples from this period.

I made a fly from the heart of the old town of the city of Plovdiv, well preserved from the Bulgarian renaissance period. The city of Plovdiv is the second biggest in the country and its history spans back 8000 years back. It has been continuously inhabited through the ages and this makes it one of the oldest cities in the world. In IV century BC the city was conquered by Phillip II of Macedon (Alexander’s dad) and was given the name Philippopolis. Then in Thracian times it was modified into Pulpudeva, which is where Plovdiv name derived from. The old town overlooks the ruins of old Phillipopolis and the whole central area is built over a forum and stadium from the roman times. The most well preserved roman landmark is the theater, which is a center piece of our flight. It’s columns and statues are symbolic for the whole city. The place continues to serve its purpose until now, as it is housing all kinds of concerts. I had the luck to visit it when Chris Cornell performed in the Theater as one of his last concerts before his untimely death. The center of the city is nearby and can be seen, with the post office building and the historic Trimontium hotel. Trimontium is another Roman name for the city, meaning three hills, and we can witness the highest ones in the distance. In the north we can see the buildings of the International Plovdiv Fair, which is another event that Plovdiv is home of. Near it the river Maritsa is passing through the city in its journey to the Aegean sea. Plovdiv is currently the European capital of culture, along with the Italian Matera city for the year 2019

Urban Exploration | Central City Square | Bulgaria

Es sollte revolutionär werden, Geschäfte, Hotel, Post, Cafes und Restaurants, eine grossen Veranstaltungssaal und den Sitz der Lokalregierung beinhalten. Doch der Central City Square in Zentralbulgarien wurde nie fertiggestellt. Der Bau startete sehr ungünstig 1988. Ungünstig deshalb, weil bereits ein Jahr später das politische System des Landes in eine instabile Demokratisierung schlitterte, mit enormen finanziellen Auswirkungen auch auf staatliche Bauprojekte. 1989 wurden alle Arbeiten eingestellt. Bis heute gibt es keine konkreten Pläne für die Zukunft des Gebäudes.
Interessant am Entwurf war ausser der reinen Grösse auch die ökologische Ausrichtung. So sollte ein Grossteil des Komplexes mit offenen Grünanlagen auf dem Dach, sowie begrünten Terrassen einen Ausgleich für den Flächenverbrauch vor allem der städtischen Industrie schaffen. Ein unterirdisches Drehkreuz für den öffentlichen Nahverkehr war zur Entlastung des Verkehrs vorgesehen. Architekt Ivan Sivrev holte Georgi Stoilov als Berater mit ins Boot, einen bekennenden Fan von Le Corbusier und dem Konzept der Radiant City. Schon zu Beginn der Planung soll es Differenzen zwischen dem Architekten und seinem Team gegeben haben. Viele Ingenieure hielten das Konzept für nicht realisierbar.
Geschichten, die sich in der Ruine abgespielt haben sollen, gibt es zahlreich. Vor ein paar Jahren soll ein Kind dort ermordet worden sein, ausserdem trieben Geister und Junkies ihr Unwesen.

It was supposed to be revolutionary, including shops, hotel, post office, cafes and restaurants, a large function hall and administration of the local government. But Central City Square in central Bulgaria has never been completed. The construction started very unfavorably in 1988. Unfavorable because just one year later the political system of the country slid into an unstable democratization, with enormous financial consequences also on state-owned construction projects. In 1989, all work was stopped. To date, there are no plans for the future of the building.
The draft is quite interesting. Apart from the pure size also the ecological orientation is outstanding. Large parts with open green areas on the roof, as well as green terraces, were supposed to compensate for the land use, especially of the urban industry. An underground hub for public transport was planned to relieve traffic. Architect Ivan Sivrev brought Georgi Stoilov on board as a consultant, an avowed fan of Le Corbusier and the concept of the Radiant City. Even at the beginning of the planning, there have been disagreements between the architect and his team. Many engineers considered the concept unrealizable.
There are plenty of stories that are said to have taken place in the ruins - including the murderer of a child as well as various ghost and junkie stories.

AmaWaterways Excursions Vidin, Bulgaria, a look at AmaDante & Veliko Tarnovo and Plovdiv, Bulgaria

AmaWaterways Danube River Cruise Excursions to Vidin, Bulgaria, a look at the luxurious Amadante River Cruise Ship, and then touring of Veliko Tarnovo and Plovdiv in Bulgaria before heading to Istanbul, Turkey on an AmaWaterways Danube River Cruise that began in Budapest, Hungary.

Vidin is a port town on the southern bank of the Danube in northwestern Bulgaria. It is close to the borders with Serbia and Romania, and is also the administrative centre of Vidin Province, as well as of the Metropolitan of Vidin (since 870). As of February 2011, the town has a population of 47,138 inhabitants. An agricultural and trade centre, Vidin has a fertile hinterland renowned for its wines.

Veliko Tarnovo is a city in north central Bulgaria and the administrative centre of Veliko Tarnovo Province. Often referred to as the City of the Tsars, Veliko Tarnovo is located on the Yantra River and is famous as the historical capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire, attracting many tourists with its unique architecture. Until 1965 the name of the town was Tarnovo, and this is still the common name. The old city is situated on three hills, Tsarevets, Trapezitsa and Sveta Gora raising amidst the meanders of the Yantra. Tsarevets housed the palaces of the Bulgarian Emperors and the Patriarchate with the Patriarchal Cathedral, as well as a number of administrative and residential edifices surrounded by thick walls.

Trapezitsa was known for its many churches and as the main residence of the nobility. In the Middle Ages it was among the main European centres of culture and gave its name to the architecture of the Tarnovo Artistic School, painting of the Tarnovo Artistic School and literature. Veliko Tarnovo is an important administrative, economic, educational and cultural centre of Northern Bulgaria. As of February 2011, the town has a population of 68,783.

Plovdiv (Bulgarian: Пловдив) is the second-largest city in Bulgaria after the capital Sofia with a population of 338,153 inhabitants as of February, 2011.[1] It is the administrative center of Plovdiv Province and the municipalities of the City of Plovdiv, Maritsa municipality and Rodopi municipality, whose municipal body had a population of 403,153 inhabitants as of February 2011.[1] It is an important economic, transport, cultural and educational center,[2] as well as the second-largest city in the historical international region of Thrace after Istanbul. It is the tenth-largest city in the Balkans after Istanbul, Athens, Belgrade, Bucharest, Sofia, Thessaloniki, Zagreb, Skopje and Tirana.

Plovdiv's history spans 6,000 years, with traces of a Neolithic settlement dating to roughly 4000 BC,[3] ranking it among the world's-oldest cities. Plovdiv was known in the West for most of its recorded history by the Greek name Philippopolis, which was introduced in 340 BC.[4] Plovdiv was originally a Thracian city before later becoming a Greek and a major Roman one. In the Middle Ages, it retained its strategic regional importance, changing hands between the Byzantine and Bulgarian Empires. It came under Ottoman rule in the 14th century. In 4 January 1878, Plovdiv was liberated from Ottoman rule by the Russian army and was within the borders of Bulgaria until July, the same year, when it became the capital of an autonomous Ottoman region of Eastern Rumelia. In 1885, it and Eastern Rumelia itself became part of Bulgaria.

SUMMARY
=======
The Second Bulgarian Empire (Bulgarian: Второ българско царство, Vtorо Bălgarskо Tsarstvo) was a medieval Bulgarian state that existed between 1185 and 1396. A successor to the First Bulgarian Empire, it reached the peak of its power under Tsars Kaloyan and Ivan Asen II before gradually being conquered by the Ottomans in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. It was succeeded by the Principality and later Kingdom of Bulgaria in 1878.Until 1256, the Second Bulgarian Empire was the dominant power in the Balkans, defeating the Byzantine Empire in several major battles. In 1205 Emperor Kaloyan defeated the newly established Latin Empire in the Battle of Adrianople. His nephew Ivan Asen II defeated the Despotate of Epiros and made Bulgaria a regional power again. During his reign, Bulgaria spread from the Adriatic to the Black Sea and the economy flourished. In the late 13th century, however, the Empire declined under constant invasions by Mongols, Byzantines, Hungarians, and Serbs, as well as internal unrest and revolts. The 14th century saw a temporary recovery and stability, but also the peak of Balkan feudalism as central authorities gradually lost power in many regions. Bulgaria was divided into three parts on the eve of the Ottoman invasion.
Despite strong Byzantine influence, Bulgarian artists and architects created their own distinctive style. In the 14th century, during the period known as the Second Golden Age of Bulgarian culture, literature and art flourished. The capital city Tarnovo, which was considered a New Constantinople, became the country's main cultural hub and the centre of the Eastern Orthodox world for contemporary Bulgarians. After the Ottoman conquest, many Bulgarian clerics and scholars emigrated to Serbia, Wallachia, Moldavia, and Russian principalities, where they introduced Bulgarian culture, books, and hesychastic ideas.
