User:TodorBozhinov/Architecture of Bulgaria

The architecture of Bulgaria has been continuously shaped since the 8th-6th millennium BC, when the first organized settlements emerged.

Remarkable works of Thracians, Romans and Greeks survive from antiquity, while the Middle Ages saw the rich architectural activity of the Bulgarian Empire, and even if the subsequent Ottoman rule was a period of considerable decline for the Bulgarian architecture, the Bulgarian National Revival in the 18th-19th century experienced another period of architectural upsurge. In the late 19th and early 20th century the architecture of Bulgaria was dominated by the fashionable revival styles of western architecture and the Communist rule and democracy were dominated by modern styles.
