Smolyan Bulgaria Region

The town of Smolyan is the most important location in the Central Rhodopes, lying in a scenic valley about 1000 m above sea level.

The town boasts a fascinating combination of old and new architecture. The experts say that the best of the typical folk houses, from the time of Bulgarian national revival in the 19th century, are to be found in the Rhodopes. An excellent example is Pangalova's house (built in 1860).
