Dimitrovgrad

Dimitrovgrad has served as an industrial centre in southern Bulgaria since the late 1940s. Established in 1947 through the work of youth brigades, it was conceived as a new socialist city and named after the communist leader Georgi Dimitrov. The town lies in the Maritsa valley, a lowland corridor running across much of southern Bulgaria. Broad boulevards, formal public spaces and postwar civic architecture still reflect its planned beginnings, while Dimitrovgrad Market remains an important regional trading place.
