Kazanlak is a city located in the geographic center of Bulgaria. It is a capital city of the famous Rose Valley. The region around Kazanlak has been inhabited for thousands of years, with traces of civilization going as far back as 2000 BC.

In the 4th century BC, near the ancient Thracian capital of Seuthopolis and close to the city, a magnificent Thracian tomb was built. Consisting of a vaulted brickwork "beehive" (tholos) tomb, it contains, among other things, painted murals representing a Thracian couple at a ritual funeral feast. The tomb was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979.
