Bulgaria
Bulgaria was founded in 681 AD and is the homeland of ancient civilizations. Many remnants of their cultures and the ruins of their cities, palaces and monasteries are found throughout the country.
Following centuries of Turkish control, military conflicts and fighting during both World Wars, decades of Communist Party rule, and assorted political troubles Bulgaria is finally adjusting to its switch to democracy in the early 1990s and tourism is a growth industry.
