Koprivshtitsa stands beside the Topolnitsa River in the Sredna Gora mountains. Its National Revival houses combine colourful façades, stone walls and courtyards. The town is closely connected with the April Uprising of 1876. House museums and historic architecture reveal both the struggle for liberation and the everyday lives of earlier generations.
