The regional historical museum is located in a big,beautiful three-storey building – a monument of culture itself. It was a school building and was specially reconstructed for the needs of the museum. It was constructed in the beginning of the last century as a project of a Russian architect. The museum aims at research, preservation and popularization of the heritage and culture of local people.Additionally it works for the excavation, restoration and conservation of the archeological sites in the region and the scientific studies connected with them. The exhibition covers an area of 1200 m2 and is divided into three sections: Archeology, Nature and Ethnography. The spacious foyers and corridors often host various exhibitions from the country or temporary exhibitions at the end of the excavations season in order to introduce the latest archeological finds.
In the yard of the museum could be seen many rare species of shrubs and trees not typical for the local flora.
The sone mushrooms (video)
Those rock formations are located east of Beli
plast village by the road connecting Kardzhali with
Haskovo. To preserve them in 1974, they were designated
as a natural monument with area of 30 decares.
They area harmonic rock pieces resembling gigantic
mushrooms with pink stumps and greenish hoods
shaped in rhyolithic volcanic tuffa. The height of the
stumps and width of the hoods reaches up to 2.5m.
The variable coloring of the mushrooms results from
the different mineral inclusions. It took millions years
continuous sun, wind and rain to shape that wonderful
composition.
A legend says that these rocks are the chopped
heads of four sisters, who refused to obey a tyrannical
master.
