Къща музей „Никола Вапцаров“
The birthplace of Nikola Vaptsarov, one of Bulgaria's best-known poets, displaying his poetry manuscripts and the story of his life.
Nikola Vaptsarov (1909–1942) was born in Bansko and became one of the most influential Bulgarian poets of the 20th century. He was executed for his role in the resistance movement, and his poetry collection 'Motor Songs' is widely read. The house stands beside the square named after him on the north side of the old town. It displays the childhood home, family photographs, manuscripts and multilingual translations of his work. An introductory film is shown inside. It can be visited with the old-town museum combined ticket.
