Sliven is a historically, archeologically, and architecturally rich town east of the Gornotrakiiskata lowland at the base of the Sliven Balkan Range. It is most notable for its landscape, which is a fusion of mountain, field, and three rivers that separate the town in three large parts. These lands go back to the neolithic, roughly 5,000 to 8,000 years prior to the Common Era. Visitors will find several archeological sites here, including Roman tombs. Various coins and glaze-kilns can be seen at the Sliven Museum of History, among other artifacts. It also features historical monuments like the century-old elm tree – Stariya Bryast.
