About Plovdiv’s history:
Plovdiv, Europe's oldest continuously inhabited city, has a rich history dating back over 6,000 years. Initially a Thracian settlement known as Eumolpias, it became a significant urban center under the Macedonian Empire, renamed Philippopolis after Philip II of Macedon in 342 BCE. During Roman rule, Plovdiv thrived as a major city, with extensive infrastructure, including theaters, baths, and aqueducts, remnants of which are visible today. The city endured invasions by Goths, Huns, and Bulgars, becoming part of the First Bulgarian Empire in the 9th century. It experienced a cultural and economic revival during the Bulgarian National Revival in the 18th and 19th centuries. Ottoman rule lasted nearly five centuries, leaving a lasting cultural influence. Plovdiv was liberated in 1878 and became part of Bulgaria. Today, it is renowned for its historical layers, blending ancient, medieval, and modern influences, and was named European Capital of Culture in 2019.

Пловдив, един от най-старите градове в Европа, е основан преди повече от 6 000 години. Започва като тракийско селище под името Евмолпия, а през 342 г. пр.н.е. Филип II Македонски го превръща в значим град и го нарича Филипополис. По време на римската епоха Пловдив процъфтява с театри, бани и акведукти, останките от които могат да се видят и днес. Градът преминава през множество нашествия, включително от готи, хуни и българи, и става част от Първото българско царство през 9-ти век. По време на Българското възраждане през 18-ти и 19-ти век Пловдив изпитва културен и икономически подем. Османската империя оставя дълбоки следи в културата на града след почти петвековно владичество. Освобождението идва през 1878 г., след което Пловдив става част от България. Днес Пловдив е известен с богатото си историческо наследство и през 2019 г. е обявен за Европейска столица на културата.
