Bulgaria is a Balkan nation in Southeast Europe with diverse terrain. It is situated on the eastern flank of the Balkans, and is bordered by Romania to the north, Serbia and North Macedonia to the west, Greece and Turkey to the south, and the Black Sea to the east. Bulgaria has a rich heritage of traditional dance, music, costumes, and crafts and is the sixteenth largest country in Europe. Sofia is the nation's capital and largest city, and other major cities are Plovdiv, Varna and Burgas. Sofia is known for the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, its hot mineral springs, ancient Roman history, and countless museums, but one of the earliest societies in the lands of modern-day Bulgaria was the Neolithic Karanovo culture, which dates back to 6,500 BC.
