Full Version: Koprivshtitsa: an Audio Tour Through Stone and Story

Welcome to Koprivshtitsa! I know getting here was not easy, challending even — but trust me, every step you’ve taken was worth it. Now that you're here, take a deep breath of crisp mountain air, hope in your walking shoes, wrap yourself in something warm, and get ready to travel back in time to the 19th century with this self-guided audio tour!

Our journey begins at the monument of Georgi Benkovski, a tribute to one of Bulgaria’s most daring revolutionaries. From there, we’ll visit the peaceful Church of St. Nicholas, before indulging in a culinary adventure with local flavors that carry the soul of the region.
Next, we’ll explore the rich artistry of the Lyutova House, cross the legendary Bridge of the First Rifle Shot, and step into history at the Todor Kableshkov House. We’ll pause in reverence at the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, then admire the exquisite interiors of the Oslekov House.
And finally, we’ll bring it all together in the heart of the town — 20th of April Square — where echoes of revolution and resilience still linger in the air.
