KNOWLEDGE OF Sevlievo
Sevlievo (Bulgarian: Севлиево) is a town in north-central Bulgaria, between Sofia and Varna.
The earliest traces of occupation in the region date back to the late Neolithic period (about 8000 B.C.). Some Thracian tombs still survive. Hotalich Fortress is the last medieval town. It had been inhabited for more than 1000 years and functioned as an important defensive centre. Hotalich existed for centuries together with the settlement on the site of the contemporary town, known as "Servi" and "Selvi".
In the middle of the 19th century, the development of crafts led to the concentration of large sums of money in the crafts' societies. Commercial trips across the Ottoman Empire, Europe and Russia enriched general knowledge.
In 1834 St Prophet Eliah Church was restored and in 1836 the medieval Batoshevski Monastery was re-built. In the mid-1950s, Kolio Ficheto, a prominent master of the National Revival Period, built the stone bridge over the Rossitsa River. In 1844 the famous wealthy craftsman and merchant, Hadji Stoyan Nicholov, invested his own money in the building of a huge school.
In 1870, under the direct guidance of Vassil Levski, known as the "Apostle of Freedom", a revolutionary committee was created. It prepared the population of Sevlievo for the April uprising in 1876. The Bulgarians from this region took an active part in the uprising.
Turkish occupation of the town ended July 2, 1877. As a major cultural institute, the community centre has existed for 127 years. The House of Culture "Mara Belcheva" became the new centre of cultural events.
