A town in southern Bulgaria on the Maritsa river, Pazardzhik has a compact centre with a concentrated café and restaurant scene, and sits within reach of both the Rhodope Mountains and the Sredna Gora range. The Church of the Dormition holds a wood-carved iconostasis under UNESCO protection, and the city's clock tower, History Museum, and Drama Theatre round out the central landmarks. Its history stretches back to early settlements along the Maritsa, with the town emerging as a craft and trade centre by the mid-19th century.
