Ancient Stadium of Philipopolis

It’s a beautifully made, detailed model, and it makes it much easier to understand the layout of the original stadium. You can clearly match the preserved section on the street with its full historical shape, and the model really helps you imagine how impressive the structure must have been in its time.

It's a pity that the city has built roads and shops above the stadium and you can only see a piece of such an ancient Byzantine gem. The most outrageous thing is that there is also a bar located in the centre of the stadium.

Such an interesting blend of history and modern architecture built around a well preserved stadium up close. If you just walk around the city and stumble upon it, it is quite a sight.

Definitely worth a visit. Well, it's an absolute must-see if you're in Plovdiv

A buried stadium that only has a small portion of it excavated, but the rest are still buried, because the city of Plovdiv has been built on top of it. Amazing!

My family and I had a wonderful experience here! The staff, especially Daniela and Ana, were amazing—they shared so much interesting information and told us fascinating stories that brought history to life. Make sure not to miss the 3D cinema; it's a fantastic way to see what the stadium looked like in its glory days. A must-visit in Plovdiv!

You have to visit this place. it’s free but I recommended watch the 3D animation for 6 lev(check the schedule). It’s 20 min film that gave you the whole picture and understand this place in the past. You can use this ticket to enter the underground site at nearby H&M store. I enjoyed it.

Well worth a visit and I'd recommend seeing the short film screening of the stadiums history. The lady in the shop is very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful
