Philippopolis is actially named after Philip the father of Alexander the Great. But before the Greek epoch it had been part of one the ancient Tracian kingdom of the Odrissi. The earliest settelment dates from 5-6000 years BC. So we're talking thousands of years not hundreds. Glad you enjoyed our fantastic city of Plovdiv.

The architecture in the old town of Plovdiv is actually Bulgarian Revival Period Architecture. What is specific is that the second of third floors of the buildings are wider then the first floor. The ottomans would collect taxes based on the size of the first floor. So, the bulgarian would build small first floor and wider upper floors. Then don't like paying taxes :))).

FYI, the oldest city in Europe and one of the oldest in the world is Argos in Greece, which has been inhabited for the past 7000 years.

[@xser4321]

That is disputed. Recorded history for Argos started in 2nd millennium BC. So it's not possible to confirm that Argos is 7000 years old. But the history of Plovdiv is recorded and it is confirmed that it's 6000 years old.
