Tourist Attractions Around Stara Zagora Region
In Stara Zagora.....
Neolithic Dwellings
During the construction of the large hospital in Stara Zagora
in 1969, several Neolithic Houses were excavated. These date back to 5500 BC and
two dwellings remain preserved as they were found. The houses have been covered
by a building to house the small museum and preserve the findings, such as
pottery and household implements. English language tours can be arranged by
appointment and the museum is open most days.
Roman Ruins
There are a number of Roman Ruins around the city but the
most impressive are probably the old Roman Theatre next to the court building
and the large and well preserved mosaic inside the Post Office on the ground
floor.

Opera House
Close to the City Garden is the newly restored Opera house,
rebuilt after fire burnt down the old Opera. The Stara Zagora Opera is the
oldest and most prestigious opera company in Bulgaria.
Museum Houses
There are a couple of museum houses, open by appointment to
the public and showing how people lived during the National Revival period.
There is the Museum of Nineteenth-Century Town Life very close to the
centre and the Geo Milev House-Museum about the poet who was killed for
his poem about the 1923 Uprising.
Art Gallery
The Art Gallery in the centre of the city shows art work by
local artists and is open most days of the week.
Stara Zagora Mineral Baths
The small mineral spa resort of Stara Zagora is located
around 15km to the west of the city in the forested hills. The spa area was
first developed by the Romans in the 2nd Century AD and during communist times
was a popular place for companies to have rest homes for their workers. A number
of these have now been renovated and converted into hotels, including two 3 and
4 star hotels with pool complexes and massage facilities.
The area is a great place to relax and enjoy walks in the
hills. A few kilometres up from the spa area, a dirt track (just about
accessible by car) leads to a pilgrimage site know as the 'Madonna's footprint'.
This is a large rock protruding from the earth and it is said that if you
squeeze through the crack in the rock and climb out the top, your wish will come
true. The area is supposed to be a central point for the earth's magnetism and
is a place of worship. A tiny church has been erected by the rock. However, more
impressive is the ancient Sarcophagus lying to the right of the rock.
