The Patevata Maaza was built in 1863 by Vasil Patev, heir of the famous merchant of fabrics, colonial goods and manufacture Patyu Hadjiminchev. It served as a warehouse and shop. Today, the Pateva maaza works as an information centre where visitors can get information about the Old Karlovo complex, as well as about other attractions in Karlovo and the region.
The houses of the Old Karlovo Complex are constantly being developed and enriched with new, increasingly diverse attractions. With each passing year, they attract more and more tourists and most of them return to discover something different, learn new things and have fun.
