Roman Forum of Philippopolis

Congatultions to the mayor who upgraded this area with lights and a safe path to walk through the ruins. The old Byzantine culture is a gem to be seen. There is also a guard there who keeps the place safe.

One of the few ruins preserved on display as part of the city’s surroundings. There isn’t much to see but it is also free to enter and have a leisurely pass through, so might as well take a lool of you are in the area.

Worth a visit, if you are in Plovdiv, especially the preserved section (only a part of the larger whole that has been partially excavated and not yet prepared for visitors). Obviously, pales in comparison with the forum in Rome, that goes without saying, which is understandable since Phillippopolis (Greek/Macedonian name of the city) was just a regional capital, and couldn’t compare with the grandeur of the imperial metropole.

They did a nice remodel, after years of interrupted excavations. One side of the street is beautiful and we'll done, the other a bit more careless but in general it improves the center of Plovdiv

The Roman Forum of Philippopolis found in the heart of the city! Take a quick walk around and you will not regret coming here! We loved exploring the ancient places found in this old and beautiful city!

Forum Romanum's little brother, but nevertheless: noice.

Great ruins to walk around free access to the outdoor area right in the centre of the town.

The main key in this town is it's ancient history (Roman) which is dug up, conserved and put on display all over the city. A good lession in good city thinking.
