Hisarya: Hotels and Accommodation
Thermal Tradition
Hisarya combines Roman cultural heritage with a historic thermal tradition. The mineral waters range from 26 °C to 52 °C. Using this resource, the municipality has developed sanatoriums, SPA hotels, and physiotherapy and rehabilitation centres. Hisarya was officially admitted to the European Historic Thermal Towns Association; its participation is connected with the Roman cultural heritage, the historic thermal area, and the developed tourism infrastructure.
Culture and History
The archaeological reserve of Hisarya preserves a Roman defensive wall from the late 3rd century, the South Gate of Diocletianopolis, Roman baths in Momina Salza Park, and a Roman amphitheatre with a preserved arena.
The Hisarya Archaeological Museum presents the material and spiritual culture of the city and its surrounding area from the Neolithic period to the Bulgarian National Revival. An ethnographic exhibition includes tools, local customs, as well as Kukeri masks and costumes, known locally as djumali. Momina Banya Mineral Bath stands on the site of a large Roman public bath from the late 3rd or early 4th century and preserves an extensive Latin inscription in brickwork.
