A Taste of Ancient Bulgaria: Exploring the Restored Eastern Gate and Nebet Tepe in Plovdiv
|
At the heart of Plovdiv lies the Eastern Gate, a Roman marvel from the days of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. This grand 13-meter-wide gateway, once the entry point to the city of Philippopolis, has been carefully restored to showcase its historical prominence. Stone streets and Greek-Latin inscriptions transport visitors to the Roman Empire’s heyday, where trade and culture flourished. Ancient architectural details have been preserved, creating an impressive portal that feels both monumental and intimate.
