Panagyurishte
The 1876 April Uprising against Ottoman rule was centred on Panagyurishte, a town in the Sredna Gora mountains of Southern Bulgaria that holds a significant place in the country's national history. The area also gave its name to the Panagyurishte Treasure, a celebrated Thracian gold find. Today the town is a hub of Bulgaria's optical industry and a major copper-processing centre, set in a small mountain valley within reach of several UNESCO World Heritage sites in the wider region.
