The town of Vratsa is the largest town in Northwestern Bulgaria. Located at the foot of the Vratsa Balkans, it is the starting point of many trails that lead to caves, waterfalls, and rock formations, including the Ledenika Cave, Skaklya Waterfall and the Vratsa Pass.
The wealth of the mountain first attracted people from the second millennium B.C. The Thracian Triballian tribe successfully resisted the attacks of Phillip II and his son Alexander the Great. Historians believe that Vratsa was their capital.
When they conquered Thrace, the Romans increased security in the region by building a powerful fortress over the Leva River, on the Vratsa Pass.
The town held an extremely important role in the defensive system of Bulgaria in the Middle Ages. It was rewarded many times by the Bulgarian Kings for the resilience of its defenders.
Today, the town is home to the largest Rogozen Treasure, the largest Thracian treasure ever found, many medieval buildings such as the clock tower and Kurtpashov Tower, and interesting museums like the Ethnographic Museum, which has an exhibit of beautiful carriages.
Vratsa is a green and peaceful town surrounded by mountains, with a pleasant pedestrian area that invites you to take a nice walk. This is a town that deserves to be seen.
