Residential buildings from the Bulgarian Renaissance period are the most popular and common architectural monuments. In many Bulgarian cities such as Plovdiv , Nesebar, Lovech, Tryavna, Gabrovo, Veliko Turnova, Shiroka Luka, etc. there are whole neighborhoods with houses from the 18th and 19th century. The houses are usually with two and sometimes three floors, as well as a basement that is used for storing goods. The first floor is made mainly of stone and has fewer windows. The second floor is made of wood and has more windows. It projects over the street and thus provides bigger area for rooms. This special feature of the second floor is called “erker” or “kioshk”.They are supported by curved wooden beams. |
