Smolyan
Near park | Smolyan
The town of Smolyan is the most important location in
the Central Rhodopes, scattered in the narrow gorge of the river Cherna, about
1,000 m above sea level.
In 1960 the three neighbouring villages of Smolyan,
Raikovo and Ustovo merged into a town, which was named Smolyan.
The
construction of the new town centre was completed in 1983. Buildings like the
Planetarium, the Post Office, the Town Hall, and the Rhodopean Dramatic Theatre
make up the core of the town.
A combination
of old and new architecture 
The town boasts a fascinating combination of old
and new architecture. The experts say that the best of the typical folk houses,
from the time of the Bulgarian National Revival in the 19th century, are to be
found in the Rhodopes. An excellent example is Pangalova's house (built in
1860).
Other notable buildings include the palace of Ali Bey in Raikovo
quarter, whose oldest part was constructed in 1780, and the old houses in the
neighborhood of Cheshitev.
The azure Smolyan
lakes
The famous Smolyan lakes, "the emerald eyes of the Rhodopes", line up in the close proximity of Smolyan. Once there were about twenty but only seven of them still remain now. The highest lake, called "The Muddy Lake", is the deepest and the most beautiful. On a small plateau, near the two lakes, there is the chapel of the Holy Spirit which is still in use.
Camp site "Panorama" is located close to the lakes.
The Planetarium
On September 6th 1975, the biggest Planetarium with a public
observatory in Bulgaria opened its doors in the town of Smolyan. Smolyan is a
tourist centre in the western Rhodopes lying 1,000 m above sea level, near the
famous Bulgarian winter resort of Pamporovo. The Planetarium is the town’s most
frequently visited place of interest. In the past 25 years it has been visited
by 1,600,000 people. The planetarium and observatory complex works with no day
off.
