Old Plovdiv is a place admired by all visitors, with its various preserved architectural structures spanning many different eras.
The remains of the Thracian civilization mingle with Roman monuments, while the old Turkish mosque adds some oriental flavor to a city where many consecutive and sometimes antagonistic civilizations have managed to combine the best of each other, giving Plovdiv its unique identity. But above all are the many preserved houses from the years of the National Awakening, which give this lively city a unique charm.
