Just a few steps from the Main Street is located "Kapana" (literal translation: "The Trap"). As soon as you get there you'd never need to go back. The district emerged as a center for craftsmen 5 centuries before, so don't be surprised of road names such as Kozhuharska (Leather Str), Zhelezarska (Iron Str) and Zlatarska (Gold Str). The name of the district itself is motivated by the many tangled little streets. Nowadays you won't find traditions craftsmen here but modern creative entrepreneurs. You can see galleries, workshops, ateliers, studios, cozy restaurants and stores, in addition to other art areas, and there's a vinyl shop! All these areas fill "Kapana" with contemporary cultural content not just with their daily tasks but also organizing events with social, cultural and economic influence for the city.
What occurs in the new/old art district of Plovdiv are: concerts, exhibitions, festivals, forums, brainstorming sessions and discussions, theatrical performances, art installations, screenings, workshops and a lot more. Soon to be opened are: culinary crafts workshop - Italian culture and language center, recording studio, Armenian cultural - information center, fine and applied arts centre, creative workshop for children and adults, gallery and art store.
