Town of Chiprovtsi

The town of Chiprovtsi is situated in North-West Bulgarua, in the northern slopes of Chiprovtsi Mountain of the Western Balkan Range, 35 km west of Montana. In Roman times it stands out as a major mining centre extracting iron, silver, gold and copper. 
There are traditions in the crafts, however, are still vital. Chiprovtzi is famous for its rug industry. There is no evidence so far of carpet-weaving before the 17th century, but the perfection of the design, composition and colour schemes of the oldest rugs is indicative of an earlier tradition. From Chiprovtzi the carpet industry spread to the near by villages, where women have been engaged in rug-weaving for centuries ever since. It is typical of the rug industry in these quarters that, more or less, production has always been market-oriented. This contributed to the fame of the Chiprovtzi rugs - both in Bulgaria, and on the Asian and Central European markets.
