Graovo

Graovo (Bulgarian: Граово) is a historical-geographical area in present-day Western Bulgaria, covering the Pernik-Breznik plane. Neighbouring area is The Mraka, a historical-geographical area in the Radomir valley.

The terrain is low mountainous and hilly, divided by the right tributaries of the Struma River, incl. . The climate is continental (Dfb) with rainfall below the national average. The soils are mainly black and brown. In its southeastern part, in the area of the town of Pernik, there are coal deposits (Pernik Coal Basin). There are mineral springs in the area of the town of Breznik. Climatic and soil conditions suggest a relatively weak development of agriculture and animal husbandry.

Ethnographically, the region is typically Bulgarian and is characterized by the absence of mosques during the Ottoman rule.^[1]
