A webcam online overlooking the Central Cooperative Market in Dobrich. The town of Dobrich appeared on medieval maps during the First Bulgarian Kingdom. That is, the approximate date of its founding is between the 7th and 11th centuries. It is not known how long the ancient settlement existed, but in the 11th century it was destroyed by the Pechenegs. 

The appearance on the site of the former city in the 16th century the village of Kuruskel was obliged to the Turks. Bulgaria has been invaded by the Ottoman Empire for more than a hundred years. The Turks renamed the old Slavic names of the cities in accordance with their customs, and gave the new ones their own names. Therefore, the village of Kuruskela, which soon became a city, was named Hajioglu-Pazardzhik. By the 19th century, Hajioglu-Pazardzhik was actively developing trade and crafts related to leather dressing, fabric production and forging of copper products. During the Russo-Turkish War, the city was liberated from Turkish influence. The liberation took place in 1878, and five years later the residents of Hadjioglu-Pazardzhik renamed it Dobrich.

In the Middle Ages, before the arrival of the Turks, the land in those parts belonged to the governor Ofostica. That's his name and immortalized in the name of the city. The war did not affect Dobrich's condition: he did not suffer at all and continued his development. The downside to Dobrich's fate was the post-war treaty of 1913, which included Dobrich in Romania. For 27 years, Bulgaria had to put up with the loss of one of its settlements, until in 1940 Romania returned the entire region of Dobrudjo it had seized with Dobrich. Nowadays, few people have heard of Dobrich, although outside Bulgaria. However, in the 70s of the 20th century it was well known in the old Black Sea basin. The city had a large transport hub and also employed the engineering, textile and food industries.

And today Dobrich remains a trade and industrial center. Wheat, corn and canola are grown in nearby villages. In Bulgaria, there is a tradition every year from spring to autumn on every Sunday to celebrate the day of a city and village. If we add to this several city museums, monuments, zoo and amusement park, it is quite clear that tourists there will be something to occupy themselves during the holidays.

Right at the entrance to the city stands a television tower. In principle, nothing special design is not, but can be interesting as an object for a photo for memory. In memory of the recognition of Bulgaria by the Byzantine Emperor, a memorial composition was erected in the city by the founder of the Bulgarian kingdom. The monument reads: "Khan Asparuh is the founder of Bulgaria. From the grateful descendants." The monument itself represents the rider and the five warriors behind it. The date 681 is embossed on the monument. Two memorials are dedicated to the liberation of Bulgaria from the Nazis by Soviet soldiers. They were established as a sign of gratitude to the Soviet soldiers who died in the battles for Dobrich.

It is not only Moscow that is famous for George the Victorious. A sculpture of St George killing a speared dragon stands in the center of the city at the entrance to the park. As written on the monument, it was founded in 1867. On one of the central streets of the city there is a beautiful monument to the founders of writing - Cyril and Methodius. One of them holds a high-rise cross in his hand. In the hands of both saints are letters and books. In 1843, during the Ottoman Empire, the Church of St. George was built. The structure is 12 meters high. This is the second version of the church. The original building was burned down. Restoration began after more than 20 years, and finished the complete finish only in 1889.

Dobrich zoo will be interesting for both adults and children. It is often called the center of nature protection. The fact that as a result of the death of a kangaroo from hunger and cold winter (1996-1997), the local zoo drew the attention of zoologists from Switzerland. It was decided to raise money to help animals. Since then, fundraising events have been held every year in Switzerland. This country has helped to create a centre similar to its nature protection centre. Now the zoo has been transformed into a park with animals walking on the loose (except predators). Those animals, which are not allowed to run on the paths of the park, live in spacious enclosures in the bosom of the same nature.
