Bratsigovo

Bratsigovo

Bratsigovo ( _bg. Брацигово) is a town in Southern Bulgaria. It is located in the foothills of the Rhodope Mountains, on the banks of the Umishka River in Pazardzhik oblast, and is close to the towns of Peshtera and Krichim.

Historical records show the township was established at some point in the 16th century, built over the ruins of an earlier settlement. Archeological evidence has shown that the area was inhabitated by Thracians and later Slavs.

In 1950 Bratsigovo had a population of 3,364. (Source=Columbia-Lippincott Gazetteer)

Balneology

The town is developing as a balneological center, too. There is a cold mineral water spring (18-26 C) with the flow rate of 120 liters per minute at the distance of 500 metres west of it. There is a balneo-sanatorium built up here. The mineral water treats some skin diseases, the nervous system, kidney related diseases and others. There is a nice park and a country-houses zone around it.
