Plovdiv, the second-largest city in the country, was the first Bulgarian city chosen to host the European Capital of Culture title in 2019. With its cultural and historical heritage dating back 8000 years, Plovdiv is considered to be the oldest continuously inhabited city in Europe and one of the oldest in the world. It is located at the foot of seven syenite hills and still is one of the best Bulgarian cities to live in. Active and dynamic it welcomed and embraced the challenges of its contemporary existence and through the ECoC initiative offered a glimpse into social, anthropological and infrastructural issues using the toolkits of culture and marked a period rich in events and creative partnerships.
