Heritage
Information about Bulgaria's rich and varied heritage.
Steeped in history, connected to the ancient civilisations of Rome and Byzantinium, Bulgaria has been left holding priceless art and architecture preserved throughout the centuries as well as famous ruins and villages with fascinating tales of folklore. Mix this with the detail of traditional folk music that meanders through the cobbled courtyards, you will start to feel the history Bulgaria has to offer.
With over 13 centuries of history preserved in its small village communities, Bulgaria is emerging to be one of the most attractive destinations if you want to escape the stress of your daily lifestyle. History enthusiasts are bound to be excited by the remnants of numerous occupying empires such as Roman amphitheatres, Thracian tombs and Turkish fortresses that lie throughout the region.
Last year a team of archaeologists unearthed an ancient Thracian funeral mask of solid gold that they say is as important a find as the treasures of Agamemnon and Tutankhamen.
