HISTORY MUSEUM (ИСТОРИЧЕСКИ МУЗЕЙ)

A large part of the collection is devoted to the history of iron production in the town where the samokov, an ironwork tool used at the time and whose name means "who forges by himself", is displayed. Also remarkable is the city's very interesting and colourful collection of embroidery and fabrics. On the first floor, a section is dedicated to the Samokov school (icon painting), a school of renown not only in Bulgaria but also internationally.
