Balabanov House
Балабанова къща
A reconstructed 19th-century merchant's residence, notable for its oval hall, carved wooden ceilings and fine décor, which also serves as an art gallery.
The Balabanov House was originally a 19th-century merchant's residence. It was rebuilt in the 1970s exactly as it had been. The oval hall on the upper floor, the carved wooden ceilings and the painted wall niches are fine examples of Revival-style interior decoration. The ground floor often hosts contemporary art exhibitions and chamber concerts. It is a few dozen metres from the Hindliyan House opposite, and both can be visited on a combined Old Town ticket, with about half an hour for each.
