description Bulgaria Overview
Bulgaria is a Balkan country with a coastline on the Black Sea and its capital at Sofia. Ruled by the Ottoman Empire from the late fourteenth century until 1878, it retains Byzantine, Ottoman, and Thracian heritage, including the UNESCO-listed Rila Monastery. The Rose Valley around Kazanlak is a center of rose-oil production, and the Rila and Pirin mountains host ski resorts such as Bansko. Bulgaria has been a member of the European Union since 2007 and writes in the Cyrillic alphabet, which developed in the medieval Bulgarian literary tradition.
