Introducing Hisar
Therapeutic mineral springs have been Hisar’s (also known as Hisarya) main claim to fame ever since Roman times, when it was named Diokletianopolis, after the Emperor Diocletian. Altogether, there are 22 mineral-water springs here, said to cure many ailments; the popularity of these springs even today has ensured this sleepy mountain town’s livelihood. Since it’s mostly visited in summer, visiting in winter means you will have the place to yourself. The main street has some unique ruins from the days of ancient Rome, though the major reason to visit today, as it was then, is for the indolent spa therapy.
