Thanks Bleriot53. Yes, this is because Karlovo is a small town, an extremely rich in history Renaissance town with old and new parts, which overlap to some extent. In the old part there are preserved authentic houses from the beginning of the 18th century. There are many historical monuments, history deeply connected with the past of Bulgaria. Vasil Levski is a national hero from the liberation of Bulgaria from Ottoman rule. He was born in Karlovo and his house was turned into a museum. The shots in the video from 5:07 to 5:50 were taken in it.
Many great Bulgarians were also born in Karlovo, and for me personally the most memorable are Evlogi and Hristo Georgievi. At that time they were traders working in Europe. Evlogi Georgiev left a legacy of golden BGN 23 million, and the entire first issue of the Bulgarian National Bank was BGN 6 million in gold, ie he bequeathed
property exceeding 4 times the total money supply in the country. That is something huge. With these money was build Sofia University - the oldest higher education institution in Bulgaria. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sofia_University
Thank you for that fascinating bit of Bulgarian history. |
