Etropole is a Bulgarian city located in the western part of the country, on the slopes of the Staroplanina massif.
Etropole emerged as a Thracian settlement in the 7th-6th centuries BC.
The 2500-year-old centuries-old history of the city is of interest to visitors. Etropole occupies a worthy place in the history of the liberation activities of the Bulgarian people of the Renaissance.
The city is the administrative center of its own municipality and is part of the Sofia region. Geographically, it is located in the western part of Stara Planina.
If you are a history buff, the city has its own Historical Museum. It is located in the building of a former tavern and was opened in 1958. In the museum you can see more than 1200 exhibits, including household items and furniture. There are also many documents and photographs. The Historical Museum in Etropol is a member of the Museums of the World organization.
The city is also proud of another significant attraction - the local Clock Tower. It was built back in 1710 by the local master Todor and, according to scientists, is one of the oldest clock towers in general in Bulgaria. The materials used for its construction are river stone and fat. The tower is almost 20 meters high and to this day the clock still measures accurately. Initially, the tower was used as a defensive and observation tower, and later, in 1821, it was converted into a clock tower. Nowadays, tourists do not have access to the inside of the tower itself, but can only look at it from the outside.
And the third highlight of Etropole is the Etropole Monastery of the Holy Trinity, also known as Varovitets, a Bulgarian Orthodox monastery near the town of Etropole in west-central Bulgaria. Near the monastery there is also a beautiful natural landmark - the Varovitec Waterfall.
