The town of Vratza is one of the most picturesque cities in Bulgaria. With fearful rocks overhanging the roofs, "Vratza is a place created by the Spirit, where knowledge and art are flourishing so other areas of our country can use them too". This was written by "Tzarigradski Vestnik"(Tzarigrad`s newspaper) in 1858, in Tzarigrad-today`s city of Istanbul.
