History Museum
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.

Near the bus station is the Bairakli Mosque, built in the 1840s. It doesn’t function, but does have some wonderfully ornate murals, and an unusually cut minaret.
