Tsar Simeon’s Garden and Singing Fountain, Plovdiv

Tsar Simeon's Garden, often referred to as the 'Lungs of the City' by Plovdiv residents, is a central community hub in the heart of the city. It is a tribute to Bulgaria's most esteemed leader and holds a special place in the city's landscape. Designed and brought to life in 1892 by landscape gardener Lucien Chevalas, the garden occupies the historic site where Plovdiv hosted its renowned Bulgarian Exhibition.

This park beautifully captures the artistic essence of Bulgaria, offering a serene retreat shaded by ancient trees and providing various recreational opportunities. It is also adorned with numerous remarkable sculptures and fountains. Among these, the historic Singing Fountain stands out, having recently undergone an impressive $8 million renovation to delight the public once again.

Stretching over an artificial lake at the very heart of the main garden, the Singing Fountain features an array of customized jets that dance and leap in perfect harmony with a carefully curated selection of compositions, reaching heights of up to 12 meters. As the sun sets, the fountain comes alive with a captivating display of RGB lights, casting a mesmerizing and colorful glow over this beloved community park, enticing visitors to enjoy its beauty late into the evening.

Furthermore, every weekend, spectators are treated to enchanting musical performances by the fountain, and on special occasions, the water jets provide a dazzling backdrop to brilliant fireworks displays.
