Koprivshtitsa lies on the Topolnitsa River surrounded by the majestic Sredna Gora Mountains. It is one of the country’s museum towns renowned for its 19th century Revival architecture and with a staggering 383 well-preserved historic monuments it is a busy tourist attraction. On display here there are large ethnographic collections containing ancient weaponry, Renaissance art, household items and fine jewellery. It is perhaps best known for its role in the 1876 April Uprising against the Turks and its international folk festival.
