On the steps leading up to Danov Hill sits the bronze statue of Mihail Dimitrov Todorov, better known as Milyo – a Plovdiv-native remembered for his kindly smile, playful demeanor and a number of spicy rumors surrounding his person. He is the subject of paintings by a number of Bulgarian artists. In death, as in life, Milyo is a permanent fixture on the Main Street, and few visitors skip out on the chance to take a picture with him or whisper something in his ear.
