History of Pancharevo
The Thracians, who constructed a hamlet called Rilyanik, meaning bountiful spring, were undoubtedly aware of the Pancharevo mineral springs. Later on, the name was changed. In Roman times – Baths Cesare / Royal /, they were well-supported by the nobility and the local populace, and they were surrounded by a prosperous imperial estate with vineyards. Bulgarians referred to them as „Baths Tsarevi,“ while Turks referred to them as „Bandzharevi,“ and they were surrounded by the renowned Kinan-Pashovs estate.
Pancharevo and its vicinity contain major Roman relics. There was was a mineral spa with seven pools. There are grounds to assume that the worship of Asklepios and the nymphs was performed at both the Sofia springs and Pancharevo, since pieces of bas-reliefs depicting the three nymphs were discovered in both locations. Over the bath in the vicinity of „Gradishteto“ were discovered the ruins of Roman structures and fortresses meant to withstand barbarian invasions through the access routes from Serdica via the Iskar Gorge toward Samokov, but regrettably no further comprehensive archeological research in the area.
Pancharevo had its first appearance in the sixteenth century.
