History

Stara Zagora is one of the oldest cities in Europe, with a rich and complex history that spans thousands of years. Located in the heart of Bulgaria, this city has been an important cultural and economic center since ancient times. Archaeological evidence shows that the area was inhabited as far back as the Neolithic period, around 8,000 years ago. During this time, early settlers established farming communities, laying the groundwork for a long history of human habitation in the region.

Stara Zagoraโ€™s strategic location has contributed greatly to its historical importance. The Thracians, an ancient people known for their art and warrior culture, were among the first to establish a permanent settlement here. They built the city of Beroe, which became a significant Thracian settlement and a center of trade and culture. During the Roman era, Beroe grew in prominence, benefiting from the Romansโ€™ extensive road network, which connected the city to other important locations in the Roman Empire. Under Roman rule, Stara Zagora saw significant urban development, including the construction of public baths, amphitheaters, and aqueducts.
