The Town
Vratsa's train and bus stations stand together just east of the centre, from where the pedestrianized ribbon of bul. Nikolai Voivodov curves its way northwest, passing a vast open-air market, to meet the main thoroughfare, bul. Hristo Botev . Turn left here to reach a plaza built around the Kula na meschiite , a seventeenth-century fortified tower built by local lords as much for prestige reasons as for defensibility. Shortly afterwards ul. Targovska breaks off to the left, a side street blessed with a picturesque collection of pastel-coloured nineteenth-century town houses. At the end of the street stands a monument to Sofronii Vrachanski , local church leader and key figure in the Bulgaria's nineteenth-century National Revival.
