Simeonovgrad is located in southern Bulgaria, in the old Zagora region, in the valley of the Maritsa River at the northern foot of the Rhodope Mountains. Named after Bulgarian Tsar Simeon I, this historic town was once an important military stronghold during the Byzantine period, and the ruins of a medieval castle and archaeological remains from the Roman period bear witness to the multiculturalism of the Balkan Peninsula. The local economy is based on agriculture, producing grapes, cereals and rose oil, while light industry and tourism are gradually developing. As a transportation hub between the north and the south of the Balkans, Simeonovgrad retains a peaceful small-town atmosphere and is surrounded by natural beauty, making it an ideal destination for exploring Bulgaria's history and rural culture.
