On the final day of their five-day educational trip across Bulgaria, pupils from the Bulgarian school 'Bulgarche' in Naples, Italy, visited the ancient site of Perperikon. The excursion was organised by the Ministry of Education and Science as part of its National Programme, 'Educational Routes', as reported by BTA.
Perperikon is an ancient stone complex in the Eastern Rhodopes featuring a large megalithic sanctuary dating back to the 6th–5th millennium BC, as well as monuments from antiquity and a medieval fortress. It was a sacred city and royal palace for the Thracians, and was later inhabited by Romans, Goths, Byzantines and Bulgarians.
During their visit, the students met Prof. Nikolay Ovcharov, who gave them a signed booklet. Earlier in the trip, they explored Momchil Fortress, climbed Snezhanka Peak, toured Pamporovo and visited the Orpheus Rocks. They also toured the Bachkovo Monastery and the city of Pleven, where they saw the Pleven Epopee Panorama, which commemorates the 100th anniversary of Pleven’s Liberation, and the Prohodna Cave.
The Bulgarian Sunday school 'Bulgarche' in Naples, established by the Association for Bulgarian Culture, provides education in the Bulgarian language, literature, history and geography. It is officially recognised as a Bulgarian school abroad by the Bulgarian Ministry of Education and Science.
