The town is located 150 km from Sofia, 19 km from Assenovgrad, 102 km from Smolyan, 90 km from Stara Zagora. It ranks as the second Bulgarian city in population and size after the capital.

HISTORY

The most ancient inhabitants of these areas date back to the New Stone, Stone-copper and Bronze Ages. During the 1 st millennium B.C., the Thracians founded the ancient settlement of Eumolpius. In 342 B.C. the town was conquered by Philip II, the Macedonian, the town was named Philippopole and was turned into a fortress . With its fall under Roman rule, it was turned into a key economic, cultural and political center of Thracia province. The Romans named the town Trimontzium. During the next two centuries it was many times ruined and set on fire by the huns and the gothic tribes. At the end of 6 th century the Slavs populated the area and named the town Puldin In 815 Khan Krum included it within the boundaries of Bulgaria. In 1364 the Ottoman Empire conquered the town and called it Phillibe. Being left in the far most back area of the Ottoman Empire, it had lost its strategic location and gradually declined. It was only during the Revival Period that Plovdiv regained its glorious name of a large economic and cultural centre.
