The town of Batak has a rich history. It is situated in the North of Rodopi Mountain at an altitude of 1036m. 32 km south of Pazardzhik. The town has population of 4 600 and is a municipality centre. In the Late Middle Ages it is a big flourishing settlement. Burned to the ground at the time of the kurdjalii invasions in the 18th and the beginning of the 19th C. During the April Uprising of 1876 the whole population takes up arms. Regular Turkish army and bashi-bazouk crushes the heroic resistance of the people, the town is burned down and the major part of local population is massacred. In St. Nedelya Church (built in 1813) the Turks slaughter about 3000 people (among them women, children and old people), who sought refuge behind the thick stone walls. Here one can see the bone-vault of the victims. A historical museum.
