About Plovdiv
Plovdiv claims to be Europe's oldest continuously inhabited city, sitting on the Maritza River with an Old Town (Varosha) of mansions tumbling down a hillside. Roman amphitheater remains, Byzantine churches, and Ottoman architecture create visible strata of history. The contemporary art scene has exploded—galleries and studios nest in old quarter streets, creating a creative energy that contrasts pleasantly with the city's archaeological layers.
