The Belogradchik History Museum is located in the central area of the city, in a traditional house of historical value, called the Panov House, which presents architectural features from the Bulgarian Renaissance period. It was built in 1810, and since 1970 it has been transformed into the current museum, now with over 8,000 objects in storage. On the ground floor there is a collection of ethnographic elements and traditional household objects, which illustrate the daily life of the inhabitants of the area. Upstairs we can admire a few exhibitions of historical objects, covering all eras, namely objects from the prehistoric period, the Roman period and the medieval era. A special emphasis is placed on the events carried out during the Bulgarian war of independence from 1877-1878, in this sense there are numerous exhibits and documents that illustrate the unfolding of the military events in this area.
