Targovishte

Targovishte combines a long mercantile tradition with a calm inland character in a way that reflects its position between the Danubian Plain and the northern slopes of the Balkan Mountains. The town stands on the Vrana River in northeastern Bulgaria, where low hills and cultivated land soften the transition toward the mountains. Its former Ottoman-era name, Eski Dzhumaya, meaning “old market”, recalls the trading role from which the modern Bulgarian name, meaning marketplace, also stems. The annual Targovishte Fair maintains that association, while the town serves as an administrative and cultural centre for its surrounding district.
