The resort town of Hisar is situated in an area with extremely favourable physical-geographical and climatic conditions. These conditions together with the presence of a rich warm mineral deposit are the reason for life springing up from the hoary antiquity. Human civilization left its lasting traces around the mineral springs during all historical times. It's an irrefutable fact that the most monumental architectural samples in the town of Hisar come from the Roman rule. The unique fortified walls, Roman baths, amphitheatre, civil and cult structures speak eloquently for the glory and magnificence existing around the mineral springs in Hisar in those distant times.

The region of Hisar has been generously endowed with diverse natural wonders. The favourable climate and warm mineral waters of this district have attracted man since antiquity. People settled here permanently as long as class communities have existed...

This program gives everybody the opportunity to participate in an archaeology fieldwork aiming to help and support the team of the local Archaeological Museum in Hisar, Bulgaria in its work on 3 different ancient archaeological sites (all in one session). The program is carried out in association with the Archaeology museum of Hisar. At the end of each session participants will receive a fieldwork certificate issued by the museum.

Also this program gives you the opportunity to combine your fieldwork experience with a great summer spa holiday. Here you will meet people from all over the world, visiting this place because of its healing mineral waters.
