A very interesting exposition of an early Christian church. Two short but impressive films about Plovdiv and the region are offered.

Balabanov House

Reviewed By an2anetah

The house is not the original one from the beginning of the 19th century, since it was demolished, but a faithful reconstruction from 1935 based on every detail of the original plans. This probably explains the great shape of the house is in. Typical for the Revival Period in Bulgaria, my personal favorites were the wooden ceilings, fine Ottoman style. The only thing I didn't like is that the house is now used to host temporary art galleries in an attempt to mix the old with the new with mixed results in my opinion

House-Museum Hindlian

Reviewed By seanyg - Basel, Switzerland

Probably the best of the revival houses in terms of interest - first running water in the old town, with its own Turkish baths and some interesting murals depicting the merchant owner of the house travels, complete with many original artefacts and furniture that give a real sense of life in old Plovdiv. Highly recommended.
