About Hissarya
|
Hissarya (364 BC), this is an outdoor museum say the
knowledged people. It is located 42 km. north of Plovdiv
city where the slopes of Sredna Gora mountain merge with
the Tracian valey and 160 km east of Sofia. Its glory
comes exclusively from its hot mineral springs. In the
area of the mineral springs are found remains from ancient
times (late neolith). The small settlement of the Thracian
tribe called Besi gradually became famous with its magic
sanative springs. The Romans built a great number of buildings
and next to the baths there was an entire city. The city
was named "Auguste". Latter the Emperor Dioklestian settled
here becauise the mineral sanatative springs gave the
name if the settlement Dioklestianopolis.

The Roman Emperor Septemij Sever
had been coming for treatments in Hissar. The formed settlement
from the Romans has been the object of attacks from Barbarians,
because of that it became necessary to be raised a bulwark.
Remains from that bulwark exist and can still be seen at
the present time in the central area of the city. The fortress
has been accessible though four gates. Most likely the southern
gate, which is the tallest one, has been the official entry.
It is damaged through the ages, but its skeleton remains.
From the recent excavations were found a main street, which
connect the north and the southern gate. The ancient city
built in the town-planing rulles of the Romans had a large
and staight streets, decorated with statues of gods and
goddess, marble baths, with beautiful palaces and villas
of Roman aristocrats. The sewage, water pipes and bath are
adorned with splendid mosaics. Near by was found another
large bath. Its foundation remains in good condition, with
marble tubes, heating installation and other well-formed
architectural rooms. Also found are two basilica and huge
villas with many sections and rooms, owned probably by Roman
leader, which according to the specialists was built in
the third or fourth century. The archeologists say there
are many yet to be seen from the ancient Auguste. The settlement
of today’s city of Hissarya was captured by the Turks in
1363, and again was burned down. Restored in the 16 century,
it took today’s name. The city of Hissarya became an modern
spa resort with up to date facilities and services for its
visitors. The area of Hissarya is never been an industrial
area that makes it an ecologically clean resort with clean
air and waters. Hissarya resort has a temperate continental
