Sights and attractions in the regions:
One of the most visited places in Panagyurishte is the house-museum of Rayna Futekova – head teacher at the girls’ school, who was only 20 years old when she sewed the main flag in the April uprising in 1876. On April 22, 1876 – the day of its consecration, at the request of the citizens, she led the solemn procession, mounted on a chosen horse, girded with a sabre and a revolver. In the former craft workshop “Kerena”, on the first floor, a documentary-material exposition dedicated to the life and role of Rayna Knyaginya during the April Uprising is presented. The ethnographic exposition on the second floor gives an idea of the environment in which the distinguished Bulgarian woman was born and grew up.
Architectural and Historical Reserve Koprivshtitsa is the only city-museum in Bulgaria. It is located along the Topolnitsa river valley, in Sredna Gora. Koprivshtitsa is home to 388 architectural, historical, artistic and ethnographic monuments. The most notable among them being the house-museums of the writers Lyuben Karavelov and Dimcho Debelyanov, the revolutionaries Todor Kableshkov and Georgi Benkovski, the abbot Nencho Oslekov and the merchant Petko Lyutov. Not far from Georgi Benkovski’s house, on the rocky hills, rises the majestic monument of the revolutionary. Make sure to take a walk along the Kalachev bridge, where the first gun of the April Uprising was fired.
The ruins of Krasen Fortress are located 6 km south of Panagyurishte. Studies show that during the early Byzantine and mediaeval eras, Krasen was one of the most important cities in the area. This is evidenced by the exposed fortification system with a double fortification line and numerous towers, the dense residential development, and the extensive suburbs outside the fortress.
