The memorial plaques dedicated to the activists of the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (VMRO) and Gotse Delchev serve as a poignant reminder of Burgas's historical connections to the Macedonian and Thracian liberation movements. Situated on Ferdinandova Street, at the address of the former Minkov Han, these plaques mark a site of significant historical importance. The Minkov Han was a gathering place for revolutionaries from Macedonia and Thrace. Gotse Delchev, a central figure in the VMRO, frequented this location. In 1900, he organized efforts for the liberation of Edirne (Adrianople) from this very house. The han also hosted the founding congress of Thracian organizations in Bulgaria in 1897, solidifying its role as a hub for revolutionary activities. Key figures such as Dame Gruev, Gyorche Petrov, and Boris Sarafov also stayed here. The plaques commemorate these events and the individuals who fought for liberation. They stand as a symbol of Burgas's contribution to the broader historical narrative of the region. While a coffee machine obscured the plaques in the past, efforts have been made to ensure these symbols remain visible and accessible. Visiting these plaques offers a moment to reflect on the sacrifices and struggles for freedom and independence in the region.
