The Icon Permanent Exhibition opened in 1975 after a long period of preparation. It was constructed near the Revival-era Church of St. Constantine and Helena, on top of the round defensive tower of the early Byzantine fortress wall in the Old Town. On display are the finest examples of iconographic art from the Gallery’s collection and the holdings of the Plovdiv Metropolis. They represent Eastern Orthodox Christian art from the Plovdiv region and all of Southern Bulgaria, dating from the late 15th to the late 19th century.

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