Bulgarian Archaeological Treasures

This collection highlights the architectural legacy of the Plovdiv region, spanning from Thracian antiquity to the Middle Ages. It features the remarkably preserved 2nd-century Roman theatre and stadium of Philippopolis, alongside the expansive Roman Forum. The list includes the medieval Asen's Fortress, the ruins of the 5th-century Red Church in Perushtitsa, and several significant Thracian burial mounds such as Zhaba Mogila. These sites demonstrate the layers of Roman, Byzantine, and Bulgarian history preserved throughout the Rhodope Mountains and the Thracian Plain.
