Bulgaria HiLites: Plovdiv, The Roman Theatre
Plovdiv is situated in the southern part of the Plovdiv Plain on the two banks of the Maritsa River.

Known in the West for most of its history by the Greek name Philippopolis, it was originally a Thracian settlement before becoming a major Roman city. In the Middle Ages, it retained its strategic regional importance, changing hands between the Byzantine and Bulgarian Empires. It came under Ottoman rule in the 14th century.
