The Panagyurishte region was one of the centers of the Bulgarian Revival (18th – 19th century) and the struggles for national liberation from Ottoman dominion. During the April Uprising against the Ottoman ruling in 1876, the town was a canter of the 4th revolutionary region. There the population rose in the largest scale and the riot was the most organized. During the struggles for national liberation and uniting, the people from Panagyurishte gave more than 1 100 victims.
