About Pernik

Pernik, former (1949–62) Dimitrovo, a city in central and western Bulgaria. The city is located on the Struma River, 19 miles (31 kilometers) southwest of Sofia.

Pernik was originally a Bulgarian fortress, known for repelling attacks by Byzantine troops in the early 11th century, and was later ruled by Turkey for five centuries (1396-1878). Since 1891, Pernik has experienced significant industrial growth due to the rich coal deposits in the area, and today Pernik has become Bulgaria’s leading industrial city.

The cultural center of this city is one of the best in the country. Pernik also has a mountain school, a large sports complex with a stadium, a national theater, a symphony orchestra, a museum, and a beautiful park.

The largest city in southwestern Bulgaria is only 30 kilometers from Sofia, in the beautiful Strum Valley, surrounded by the Vitosha, Golobrdo, and Rubin Mountains. The first mention of settlements in the area dates back to the 6th century BC. Today Pernik is home to 90,000 people.

The history of coal mining, metallurgy, and mechanical engineering can be traced back to the 19th century, which makes Pernik one of Bulgaria’s most important industrial centers, as well as a city rich in tradition and culture.

Pardubice and Pernik have maintained a relationship since 2002, although they have not yet signed an agreement on the twin cities. The interrelationships in the cultural field are particularly active.
