Moments from Bulgarian History

The Byzantine Domination

Byzantine rule in Bulgaria, also known as Byzantine domination, occurred between 1018 and 1185 CE, after the fall of the First Bulgarian Empire.

The Troy

The city of Troy, resonating with the grandeur of the Hellenistic age (330 BC - 85 BC), though not directly linked to modern Bulgaria, casts a wide cultural net across the ancient world, shaping the cultural landscape beyond its immediate boundaries.
