Itinerary description
|
Bulgaria (in Bulgarian, България), officially the Republic of Bulgaria is one of the twenty-seven sovereign states that make up the European Union. It is located southeast of the European continent. It is bordered by Romania to the north (largely separated by the Danube), Serbia and North Macedonia to the west, Greece and Turkey to the south, and the Black Sea to the east.
With a territory of 110,879 km², Bulgaria ranks 15th in Europe for its surface area. Several mountainous areas define the landscape, notably the Stara Planina (the Balkans) and Rhodope Mountains, as well as the Rila Mountains, which include the highest peak in the Balkan region, the Musala. By contrast, the Danube Plain in the north and the Upper Thracian Plain in the south are the lowest and most fertile regions of Bulgaria. The 354 km of coastline on the Black Sea constitutes the entire eastern border of the country. The capital and largest city is Sofia, with a permanent population of 1,270,284.
The appearance of the Bulgarian state dates back to the 7th century. The current Bulgarian state and ethnos retain the traditions of the First Bulgarian Empire (681-1018), which came to encompass most of the Balkans and logically became a cultural center for the Slavs in the Middle Ages. With the fall of the Second Bulgarian Empire (1185-1396/1422), its territory fell under the rule of the Ottoman Empire for almost five centuries. The Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878) led to the creation of the autonomous Principality of Bulgaria in 1878, which gained full sovereignty in 1908. In 1945, after World War II, it became a socialist state and was part of the Bloc Eastern Europe, until the political changes in Eastern Europe in 1989 and 1990, when the Communist Party allowed multi-party elections and Bulgaria transitioned to parliamentary democracy and a capitalist free market economy with mixed results.
Bulgaria functions as a parliamentary democracy within a unitary constitutional republic. It is also a member of the European Union, NATO, the United Nations and the World Trade Organization.
