What's included in Day-Trip to the Rensaissance Town of Koprivshtitsa from Plovdiv
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Lyutov House Museum
This late Revival Period architectural masterpiece was built in 1854. Its internal walls are decorated in intricate murals. The so-called "Blue Room" is particularly interesting, with exquisite ceilings and a niche in the wall that is painted to resemble a theater scene. The museum also showcases clothing, household objects and furniture that offer insight into the life of the higher echelons of society in the past.
Georgi Benkovski House Museum
The Georgi Benkovski house-museum once belonged to and commemorates the life of a revolutionary and leading figure in the organization of the April Uprising - the most significant, and arguably most brutal, uprising in Bulgarian history. The exhibition features documents related to his life and revolutionary work, as well as his personal rifle. This building from 1831 recreates the authentic home setting of a reasonably wealthy citizen of that time.
Todor Kableshkov House Museum
The Todor Kableshkov house-museum is the historic home of the prominent revolutionary T. Kableshkov, built in 1845 in the Revival Period style more typical of the Plovdiv region. It was the first of Koprivshtitsa’s monuments to be restored. It now houses an exhibition dedicated to his life’s work.
