Ivan Kristoff , the famous Canadian-Bulgarian climber also known as the Spider-Man, chose the top of that hill for taking photos of Plovdiv.

He would like to create a large panorama of Plovdiv showing the city in 360* photo sequence - a thing all the users of PlovdivGuide.com have enjoyed for almost a year now at our Virtual Walks section....

In the end of May Ivan Kristoff plans to open a photo exhibition called “Through the Eye of the Spider-Man” in the Rompheya Art Gallery. The exhibition features all the photos he took from the highest buildings in the world. The largest number of photos are from Toronto, where Ivan has been living for the last 15 years.
