Beautiful stained glass accents the lovely dining room. I really enjoyed the rabbit, which I was told is a fairly common dish in Bulgaria. The great location in Old Plovdiv adds another reason to visit this restaurant.

The antique stadium use to accommodate about 30,000 spectators. It's amazes me what actually runs below the town of Plovdiv. I can only imagine if they dig the whole "Glavna" Str. what they will find underneath.

It's a part of an ancient stadium. There are benches where people can sit, sometimes during the summer there can be watched historical movies or just listening music. At the night is very nice place with all these lights around!

It is not a big monument, but first of all – it is an ancient stadium (at leat part of it, there are not many of those left) and it is really nicely fit into the modern (more modern than ancient I should say) architecture of Plovdiv. If in Plovdiv, the place is nice to see.

Walking through the pedestrianised are one discovers this old arena. Not much is exposed but it is free to enter and one gets an inkling of what it must have been like to be part of 30000 people watching gladiatorial events. It is hoped that the town planners continue to restore this and the other sites around the city.

You could look in and down on this architecture excavation, but due to recent finds were not allowed close in June, 2013

We found Philippopolis to be a nicely restored Roman era area of Plovdiv. It borders old Town Plovdiv and a main, pedestrian town center, shopping promenade. The restorers did a very good job of blending in Philippopolis with both. We only wished that it wouldn't have been quite so hot during our visit.

Well done to all the people and authorities who are involved in preserving the historic old city centre. Great respect for the past, many preservation projects, nicely kept and clean roads. I wish the old town of Thessaloniki had followed this example and not the destructive path it chose to follow. If a poorer country like Bulgaria could do it, why not Greece?

Very nice, renewed attraction in the middle of Plovdiv, on square Djumaya. You can sit on the benches there and just watch the history. There is nice music playing most of the time.
