Stepan Hindliyan’s house was constructed in 1834–1835 by unknown builders and is one of the few houses in Plovdiv that have preserved their original symmetrical design. Its owner is known as the founder of one of the four wealthiest Armenian families in the city of the hills. He was a prominent merchant whose business, in the early 19th century, frequently took him as far as India — the origin of his nickname, Hindliyan.
The house is second to none in terms of its artistic and decorative ornamentation. Lavish details cover not only the walls but also the ceilings. The first floor features a bath built on the principles of the Roman hypocaust system, later developed into the Turkish “hammam” with its relaxing steam room.

Day for free visit: Every first Thursday of the month for students and retired people.
