The
town
of
Tryavna
first
became
a
regional
centre
as
early
as
XVIII
century
although
earlier
records,
which
indicate
human
settlement
in
Tryavna
can
be
traced
back
to
Thracian
times.
By
the
end
of
the
19th
century,
Tryavna
had
become
the
region’s
main
cultural
and
industrial
centre
and
was
heavily
involved
in
the
development
of
crafts
during
the
Bulgarian
Renaissance
period.
This
resulted
not
only
to
economic
prosperity,
but
also
to
the
creation
of
the
Tryavna
School
-
one
Bulgaria’s
oldest
institutions
of
Art
Tradition.
Since
that
time,
the
work
of
Tryavna
artists
has
become
popular
throughout
the
Ottoman
Empire,
Romania,
Serbia
and
Russia.
Following
Bulgaria’s
independence
in
1878,
the
Municipality
started
woollen
textile
manufacture
and
the
first
factory
was
opened
in
1883.
During
the
first
half
of
the
20th
C. a
number
of
other
types
of
industry
were
created,
including
the
production
of
furniture,
woodworking
and
textiles.
The
development
of
tourism
started
in
the
early
1920’s
in Tryavna
and
Plachkovtsi
and
today
there
are
a
total
of
1250
beds.
Tryavna
also
enjoys
a
moderate
and
healthy
climate,
(cool
summers
and
mild
winters)
which
resulted
in a
Sanatorium
for
Lung
and
Respiratory
diseases
being
built
in
1944.
The
face="Arial"
historical
and
architectural
reservation
in Tryavna
is
among
its
main
attractions.
Some
of
the
best
examples
of
buildings
from
the
Bulgarian
Renaissance
period
have
been
well
preserved.
The
seven
museum
collections
contain
unique
pieces
of
art
from
the
late
medieval
period,
such
as
icons
and
woodcarvings.
The
town
of
Tryavna
has
preserved
its
old
town
square,
the
only
one
left
in
the
country,
which
has
been
proclaimed
as a
Monument
of
Architecture.
