- madaxe_again 6y agoThe archaeological museum in Burgas has a pretty incredible collection of Thracian and Roman artefacts from the surrounding area, and more likely than not you’ll have the place to yourself if you visit - not once did I see any other visitors at any historical site or museum in Bulgaria - more than a few had to be unlocked for us by the surprised and excited attendant. It’s a shame - Bulgaria has an incredible amount of archaeology and history, and precious few people seem to be interested in it.
- tamiral 6y agoFrom historical preservation, I've been very impressed with the artefacts collected and stored in Bulgaria. When I visit I always make it a point to visit something new. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panagyurishte_Treasure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panagyurishte_Treasure was the last time and it was MAGNIFICENT.
- madaxe_again 6y agoYes, I saw that in Plovdiv - which is an amazing little city. I love the layers and layers of history there, and all over Bulgaria. Deultum/Debelt was pretty fascinating - Roman town in the process of being excavated, and you can just wander the ancient streets with a few archaeologists working around the place.
