The colorful town of Koprivshtitsa played a major part in the Great Revolution of April 1876 for the liberation from Ottoman rule.
Preserved in its authentic appearance, nestled in the mountains, the town holds a page of Bulgarian history which deserves to be told. Most of the houses are built of wood, painted in bright colours and give a unique touch to the relaxing atmosphere of this place. There are many house-museums retracing the glorious history of this small town.
You will be able to visit house-museums of famous Bulgarians such as Kablechkov, Debelanov, Karavelov, or Benkovski who were revolutionary writers and are nowadays considered heroes. The Lyutov and Oslekov houses, as well as the Church of St. Nikolai are also a must-see and will give you an idea of what life was like here more than a century ago.
