Mogelizh is a charming town in the Shumen region of northeastern Bulgaria, situated on the picturesque banks of the Provadia River, about 30 kilometers from the Black Sea coast. This historic town is famous for its thermal resources, with several natural thermal springs with water temperatures ranging from 30-50°C all year round, making it a famous spa resort in Bulgaria.
The history of Mergeliž dates back to the Roman Empire and there are ruins of old Roman baths. The Mogliž Bridge, built during the Ottoman rule, is still a landmark. The town retains traditional Bulgarian national architecture and historical monuments such as the 19th-century St. George's Church, demonstrating the multicultural character of the town.
Visitors can experience the thermal spa, visit local wineries, or head to the nearby Knights of Madara reliefs (a UNESCO heritage site) and the Shumen fortress. The folk art festival held every summer attracts a large number of tourists. Surrounded by forests and hills for hiking and eco-tourism, the town is an ideal hub for exploring the culture of northeastern Bulgaria.
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
