Culture Shock Thu 03 Apr 2003 'Rebranding' Bulgaria Velina Nacheva The search is on to build a positive image of Bulgaria abroad, as part of the Branding Bulgaria project, a joint undertaking by the British Council, the Euro-Bulgarian Cultural Centre and an initiative group. "Assertive, positive branding of Bulgaria can attract both tourists and investment from other countries, while helping to increase confidence and morale amongst ordinary citizens. I strongly urge the government of Bulgaria to take an active interest in this initiative and to build on the ideas generated by this project," said Ian Stewart, Director of the British Council, when addressing those present at the project's launch. "Branding a country is not optional in the global market place - it is essential," he said. The specific objectives of the project, which finished officially in March, are to initiate a public debate on the representation of Bulgaria abroad, to outline a possible strategy for future representations of Bulgaria and to institutionalise representation activities. Earlier in March, the British Council presented the publication Towards a Strategy for Representing Bulgaria at the European Union information centre.

Advanced Things to Know Figures of Plovdiv History of Plovdiv ... Photo Galleries Plovdiv - culture crossroads and picturesque nature Bulgaria, situated in the south-eastern part of Europe, and in the eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula, had been a land of many ancient civilizations and great peoples, all anxious to leave marks of their turbulent history: bronze and iron spears and arrows, stone buildings remains, messages to future generations carved on rocks and stone columns or written on parchment or leather. For centuries, the roads passing through the territory of our country have been connecting Europe to Asia and Africa. Four common European transport corridors, connecting Western and Northern Europe with the Eastern and Southern part of the continent, cross their roads right here. Plovdiv is the second largest city in Bulgaria, situated on the Maritsa River. Its unique location on these ancient crossroads has stimulated strong cultural and political influences from East and West civilizations, and yet maintained its unique cultural identity. Being older than most of the oldest towns like Rome, Athens, Carthage or Constantinople, an almost contemporary of Troy, Plovdiv is a town built upon layers of towns and a culture developed upon layers of cultures. Plovdiv is a picturesque town, with many parks and gardens, museums and archaeological monuments. Its old part, called the Old Town, with houses from the National Revival period (18-19th century), is an imposing open-air museum situated on the three hills of the ancient Trimontium. One of the most remarkable sights of the town, the Ancient Theatre (a well-preserved Roman theatre), is located there and is still used for open-air performances.

Bulgaria Chief Rabbis During the Ottoman rule over Bulgaria, the Chief Rabbi of Adrianople (Edirne) was also that of Bulgaria. With the independence in 1878, the Bulgarian Jewish communities remained without any supreme rabbinical institution. The local government considered the Chief Rabbi of Sofia and its surroundings, then Rab. Gabriel Almosnino, as the legal representative of the Bulgarian Jews. Fig. 1. Map of Modern Bulgaria demonstrating the proximity of the Turkish Republic and Greece Only in 1880, Rab. Gabriel Almosnino was officially nominated Chief Rabbi of Bulgaria. The Great Rabbinate was in fact a one-man institution representing the whole Jewish community. In 1884 the Central Consortium of the Bulgarian Jews was created in order to manage the local Jewish affairs and to serve as an administrative body to the Chief Rabbi.

56. REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA - COUNCIL OF MINISTERS History and culture. The territory of bulgaria has been inhabited since the earliest historical times the Stone Age and the Chalcolithic Age. http://www.government.bg/English/Bulgaria/History/

Monday, 19 September 2005 18:55 Back Print History and Culture The territory of Bulgaria has been inhabited since the earliest historical times: the Stone Age and the Chalcolithic Age. Archaeological discoveries from that time have been made near Karlovo, in the region of the towns of Nova Zagora, Veliko Turnovo, Vidin, Sofia, Teteven, Troyan and in the Rhodope Mountains. The oldest gold treasure in the world, discovered near Varna, is dated to that time. During the Bronze Age the present-day Bulgarian lands were inhabited by the Thracians, mentioned for the first time by Homer. They were engaged in agriculture and stockbreeding, and left evidence of a rich culture (the Vulchitrun gold treasure). The first Thracian state unions emerged in the 11th-6th centuries BC, which flourished in the 7th-6th centuries BC. In the 1st century BC their lands were conquered by Rome, and after the 5th century AD they were incorporated in the Byzantine Empire. The Thracians were later gradually assimilated by the Slavs who settled in the Balkan Peninsula in the 6th century AD. In the second half of the 7th century, the Proto-Bulgarians - an ethnic community of Turkic origin - settled on the territory of the present-day Northeastern Bulgaria. In alliance with the Slavs they formed the Bulgarian State, which was recognised by the Byzantine Empire in 681 AD. Khan Asparouh stood at the head of that state and Pliska was made its capital.
