The Kableshkov House holds a specific, irreplaceable place in Bulgarian history. On 20 April 1876, the revolutionary Todor Kableshkov stood here and fired the first shot of the April Uprising against Ottoman rule — the rebellion that, though crushed within weeks, set in motion the chain of events leading to Bulgarian independence two years later.
The house is now a museum dedicated to Kableshkov and the uprising. The rooms are arranged around his life and revolutionary career, with period weapons, documents, and portraits. The building itself is a solid National Revival structure, less ornate than the Oslekov House but heavier with historical meaning. If you are visiting with any interest in Bulgarian history, this is the one museum in town you should not skip.
