    The History Museum contains archaeological and ethnographical displays, models of engines and furnaces, displays on the town’s icon-painting heritage and the printing press that produced Samokov’s first Bulgarian-language magazines in 1844. The upstairs photo gallery is devoted to the old town and 19th- and early-20th-century family photos. It’s a few metres west of the square.
