The town of Haskovo (the district centre) is 230km east of Sofia (and 230km west of Bourgas and Sunny Beach) and near the main road from Central Europe to Turkey. The region of Haskovo is situated in the south-eastern part of Bulgaria on a territory of 5 541 sq.km. It includes the valley of the Maritza River, the Haskovo hills and parts of the Upper Thracian lowlands, Sakar Mountain and the Eastern Rhodopes. To the Southeast it borders on the Republic of Greece and the Republic of Turkey. The region is characterised by fertile land and moderate continental climate. The rivers Maritza, Arda and Tundzha flow through the territory of the region. Roads connecting the Mediterranean with Thracia and the Rhodopes have been built along the rivers since ancient times. Many monuments from the Thracian era, the Greek antiquity, the Roman times, the Middle ages and the Renaissance are preserved in the region. Haskovo is one of the oldest settlements in Bulgaria. Its history dates back from the Neolithic - i.e. the habitation is about seven thousand year old. The town of Haskovo celebrated its thousandth anniversary in 1985.
