Plovdiv City in Bulgaria

Plovdiv is the second-largest city in Bulgaria, with a city population of 346,893 as of 2018 and 675,000 in the greater metropolitan area. It is an important economic, transport, cultural, and educational center. There is evidence of habitation in Plovdiv dating back to the 6th millennium BCE, when the first Neolithic settlements were established. It has been considered to be one of the oldest cities in the world; however, archaeological excavations in 2016 and 2017 have shown that this may not be the case.
