Fairy tale story

Location Harmanli



The first historical records of it date back to 1530. They belong to the Slovene Benedit Kuripesic, who would sojourn there as an interpreter in his mission. Skilful masters built a solid caravansary on the right bank of the Harmanli river (then Oludere).

To facilitate travelers, caravaners and threshers a vaulted bridge over the river in Arabic style traditional in that epoch was built in 1585 by the order of the Turkish vizier Siviush Pasha. The marble inscription on the bridge reads as follows:

The world is a bridge, across which the way of the king and the poor man passes

The hunchbacked bridge has been saved almost intact till our day.

Bulgarian municipalities were charged with some fiscal, administrative and other functions in 1834. The written rules, called 'Instructions for mayors, masters and village criers,' which were a herald of the first Bulgarian Act of local self-government, are of interest.
