TRYAVNA


Fresh mountain air, lushness, century-old woods, crystal-clear rivulets, modern architecture elegantly blending in with the stunning beauty of Revival houses - Tryavna is synonymous with all these. Even today the town emanates the spirit of its forefathers - famous builders, woodcarvers and icon-painters. The old town has been declared an architectural reservation, which has approximately 140 monuments of Revival architecture within its bounds.

Tryavna has the only truly authentic Revival town square architectural set preserved in Bulgaria. In addition to the other major public buildings of cultural significance, Dyado Nikola Square hosts the Clock Tower, built in 1844. The Tower and the Hunched Bridge built in 1845 are the most prominent landmarks of the town.
