Madjarovo is a town in Southern Bulgaria, Haskovo region and is an administrative centre of Madjarovo municipality.
This is the second smallest town in Bulgaria, after town of Melnik and the population is about 560 people.
It is situated 65 km southeast from Haskovo, 285 km southeast from city of Sofia and 200 km southwest from Burgas. The closest frontier checkpoints are Kapitan Andreevo - 74 km to the southeast at the Turkish border and Kapitan Petko voivoda-Ormenion 56 km away, at the greek border.
Madjarovo is located in the Eastern Rodopi mountain, on the right bank of Arda river. The altitude is 310 m. It is believed that the place is a crater of a long extinct volcano. Here the river mouth makes its most picturesque curve. This part of the mountain is mostly mountain and hilly terrain. The climate is continental. Winters are relatively mild, the summers are cool, but sometimes temperatures can reach quite high degrees.
The village is named Yatadzhik (in Turkish "valley", "lair") until 1912 when it was renamed to Doupnitsa. Since 1959, in appreciation of the great Thracian voivoda Dimitar Madjarov settlement was renamed Madjarovo. It was declared a town in 1974.
The main occupation of the local population was farming /mostly sheep and goats/ and also growing tobacco. Over the past 50 years, occupation becomes mining operations - high slopes around were operated for almost any type of ore. Despite significant resource potential of precious metals, there are no more mining brigades today.
