What makes it special?

Razgrad is the cultural centre of Ludogorie, where the Roman city of Abritus, Ottoman architecture, a distinctive clock tower and regional collections reveal a diverse inland crossroads.

The city is strongest when explored together with Abritus on its edge. Archaeology and living traditions of the Ludogorie communities give a depth that a quick pass through the modern centre can miss.

  • Roman Abritus
  • Ludogorie communities
  • Ottoman and civic architecture
