You can see Karlovo’s main sights by walking up ul Vasil Levski to pl 20 Yuli. Stop first at pl Vasil Levski, where the great man is immortalised in a grand statue depicting him with a lion (a reference to the adopted nickname of ‘lion’ given to him by his peers). Turn right, and right again, to the marvellous Sveta Bogoroditsa Church , a pink structure that contains intricate wooden iconostases.
