“Zlatyu Boyadzhiev” Historic House-Museum

Originally owned by the esteemed social activist, politician and doctor Stoyan Chomakov, who is remembered for his advocacy of the establishing of the Bulgarian church as an independent institution, this house is now a gallery dedicated to one of the most important Bulgarian painters – Zlatyu Boyadzhiev. Known for his paintings of the Old Town of Plovdiv and rural life, the formerly right-handed painter suffered a stroke at age 48 and spent the rest of his career painting with his left hand and in a completely different style. The museum now houses 72 of his paintings.
