St. Nicholas church

Presents Karlovo during Ottoman rule, as well as the independence struggle in the 19th century. The building is a former school from 1871, whose architecture combines national style, baroque and classicist elements.

Finished in 1903, the memorial of the national hero is one of the main sights in Karlovo. It looks a bit strange as Levski is pointing his revolver directly at the onlookers. The roaring lion next to him refers both to the translation of Levski's name ("lion-like") and lions being the heraldic animal of Bulgaria.

A wooden house painted brown, making it an unusual sight in Karlovo. It was named after Vasil Patev, the first owner of the house.

This museum is a set of traditional houses with restored interiors. Most require a little effort to visit, there are signs outside each of them with a description of what's displayed on the inside and contact information of the caretaker. To see the indoors, you need to contact them to come and open the house and pay a fee of a couple of leva.

A small stone church from 1851, with a blue and white bell tower added in 1897, and a mural of Levski on the northern wall.

An art school where visitors can see art being created and buy finished works by students.
