Turgovishte [North-East Bulgaria] ‎

[modern bulgaria]

Targovishte (Bulgarian: Търговище, "marketplace", Turkish: Eski Cuma, "old Friday") is a city (population: 46 000; 170 m above sea-level) in Bulgaria, capital of Targovishte Province. It is situated at the southern foot of the low mountain of Preslav on both banks of the Vrana River. It is 339 km north-east of Sofia, 41 km west of Shumen, 25 km north-west of Veliki Preslav, 24 km north-east of Omurtag, 100 km north-east of Veliko Tarnovo, 36 km south of Razgrad, and 35 km south-east of Popovo. It was an ancient market settlement.

In the 18th and 19th centuries it became a famous market for animals and craft products called Eski-Djumaia. Industrial development began after the Second World War. Factories producing car batteries and machines for the food industry were opened; later, furniture and textile industries developed. One of Bulgaria's largest wine production factories is located there. The town is a cultural center. In 2000, ruins of an ancient Roman town called Missionis (Мисионис) were found near Targovishte.

It is multiethnical city which has predominant Bulgarian (55%) population with sizeable Turkish (35%) and Roma (6%) minorities.

The comments over pictures are from a macedonian friend ;) I left the punctuation, grammar and vocabulary mistakes as they were . Hope you'll enjoy his travel guide to Targovishte :cheers:

^^ Първото нещо което направих като пристигнах с мойта приятелка в Търговище, е да посетим площада...
Изненадах се от чистотата, организирания вид и подържаността му...

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039599-big.jpg

^^ Това ни липсва в София - пространни пешеходни площади...

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039563-big.jpg

^^ като погледнах на ляво от площада, видях редица къщи с прекрасни фасади и изящни фасадни елементи...

Това е доказателство за софиянци, че не само в София има хубава архитектура :)

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039568-big.jpg

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039570-big.jpg

^^ Търговище е град в който е видна симбиоза на различни архитектурни типове: възрожденска, царска и социалистическа....

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039577-big.jpg

^^
Ето една хубава сграда от царско време.. изящна е с фасадните си украси

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039582-big.jpg

^^ Училището

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039590-big.jpg

^^ Като тръгнеш по малките споредни улички, забелязваш хубави къщи, които ти казват че града диша от култура от не толкова далечно, но забравено минало...

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039591-big.jpg

^^ Едно от многоте къщи аристократичен стил, изградени след освобождението - които рушат стереотипите за Търговище... градът е велик !

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039600-big.jpg

^^ Но, ни малко се отдалечихме от площада, връщаме се през хубаво уредените градинки с цветя...

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039629-big.jpg

^^ Според много историци, древният тракийски музикант Орфей е живял някъде на територията на днешната община Търговище...

Без разлика дали това е точно, или не - хората са направили много хубава статуя

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039630-big.jpg

^^ Пред чистото и подредено паркче се вижда биста на търговишкият партизам Михаил Петров

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039631-big.jpg

^^ Семейството - Фундамента на социалистическото общество :)

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039639-big.jpg

^^ В центъра на площада има фонтанка с статуетки на делфини в скок

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039640-big.jpg

^^ Това е сградата на община Търговище, по-ранно областна дирекция на БКП

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039641-big.jpg

^^ Вече влизаме в \"Алеята\"...
Така местните наричат широката пешеходна улица която свързва площада с историческата част на града... Тротоара е чист и подържан, удивлен съм...

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039668-big.jpg

^^ Широките сокаци на Търговище

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039673-big.jpg

^^ Както вървим по-далеч от центъра, като че ли отиваме по назад във времето, на следващите няколко снимки ще забележите това

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039706-big.jpg

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039707-big.jpg

^^ Типична възрожденска архитектура

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039708-big.jpg

^^ Много ме подсеща на къщите в Охрид, там почти всички (и стари и нови) са такива.. Много е хубава

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039747-big.jpg

^^ Старата църква

трябва да призная че това е една от най-хубавите църкви които съм вийдал някога..

Искам да отбележа че Търговище е типичен пример за мирен етнически съживот. Град в който мирно съжителстват българи роми и турци

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039749-big.jpg

^^ Никола Симов - Куруто

И, най-накрая посетихме статуята на Никола Симов - знаменосеца на Ботев...

Истински герой с който Търговище се гордее

http://images09.snimka.bg/001039750.jpg

^^ И, тука свършва нашата обиколка из Търговище... Вече сме малко уморени, тръгвамер да се подготвим за нашта следваща маршрута - Морето :)

Мерси за вниманието, и всичко хубаво ви желая
