Description of the attraction
Koprivshtitsa is a small town where the traditional Bulgarian architecture of the period of national revival has been preserved. More than 200 houses of the town are architectural monuments, vivid examples of architecture of the 18th-19th centuries.
Pavlikyan and Vakareli houses are wooden, one-storey, each with two rooms and utility rooms. These are examples of the oldest houses in the town. Later, two-storey houses with a stone base were built. Even later houses are distinguished by elegant painted facades and bay windows. Niches, carved ceilings and European furnishings.
For example, the Lyutov house, built in 1954, is decorated with frescoes depicting the landscapes of Constantinople, Venice, Cairo. Oslekov's house is decorated with three Lebanese cedar columns supporting the second floor.
Koprishtivica hosts a folklore festival every five years - a cross between a pop music festival and a medieval fair. Thousands of tourists come to this three-day festival.
