Ezerovo, Plovdiv Province

Ezerovo (Bulgarian: Езерово [ˈɛzɛrovo]) is a village in southern Bulgaria, located within Parvomay Municipality, Plovdiv Province.

On the ring an inscription is found written in a Greek script and consisting of 8 lines, the eighth of which is located on the edge, the rim, of the rotating disk; it reads: ΡΟΛΙΣΤΕΝΕΑΣΝ / ΕΡΕΝΕΑΤΙΛ / ΤΕΑΝΗΣΚΟΑ / ΡΑΖΕΑΔΟΜ / ΕΑΝΤΙΛΕΖΥ / ΠΤΑΜΙΗΕ / ΡΑΖ // ΗΛΤΑ.

[4][5]In 1965, Bulgarian paleontologist Dimitar Kovatchev and his team discovered by Ezerovo an almost complete fossil skeleton of a Deinotherium giganteum, one of four found in the world to date; the skeleton is exhibited at the Sofia University Museum of Paleontology and Historical Geology, and a replica is exhibited in the Paleontological Museum in Asenovgrad.

In the summer of 2021, the Palestinian Embassy in Bulgaria contributed to the museum by giving a small fountain with traditional ornaments, which was placed outside the main fence.

All of Petkova's memorabilia including awards, journals, private diaries, unwritten work, paintings, dresses from performances, and personal typewriters are all displayed inside.

The museum house is currently being renovated, with an expected official opening to be held in 2024 by Petkova's family, as mentioned in a 2021 op-ed by her daughter, Bulgarian journalist Olia Al-Ahmed.

About half a kilometer after the beginning of the village there is a monument with the names of all local people who died for Bulgaria's Liberation from Ottoman rule, some of them from Ezerovo.

About 3 km from the village there is a mineral spring named Chuchura, on which a fountain was built, opened on June 16, 1868, according to the inscription.
