About Perushtitsa History Museum

The History Museum in Perushtitsa holds about 7,000 items covering Thracian, Roman and Byzantine times and the April Uprising of 1876, when the town held out against Ottoman forces before it was destroyed.

Part of the display are wall paintings from the Red Church, a ruined early Christian church of the 4th to 6th century just outside the town, one of the most important monuments of its time in Bulgaria.
