Kapana - Plovdiv's famous art corner

Kapana, also known as the Trap, is the art district of Plovdiv. It first emerged as a center for craftsmen in the 15th century and has since grown into a hub for artists of all kinds. It is made up of a labyrinth of intertwining cobblestoned streets lined with workshops, modern art stores, stylish little cafes and restaurants, and even the facades of the buildings are works of art in their own right, colorfully painted by talented street artists and further enhanced with constantly changing pieces of modern art scattered around every corner.
