Bratsigovo (Bulgarian: Брацигово) is a town in Southern Bulgaria. It is located in the foothills of the Rhodope Mountains, on the banks of the Umishka River in Pazardzhik oblast, and is close to the towns of Peshtera and Krichim.
Bratsigovo Hills on Trinity Peninsula in Antarctica are named after the town.
Archeological evidence has shown that the area was inhabited by Thracians and later Slavs.
Historical records show the township was established at some point in the 16th-17th century, built over the ruins of an earlier settlement. The founders of the new town were Bulgarian emigrants from the western part of Aegean Macedonia, from the vicinity of Kostur.
The population of Bratsigovo took an active part in the April Uprising of 1876.
In 1950 Bratsigovo had a population of 3,364. (Source=Columbia-Lippincott Gazetteer)

The town is developing as a balneological center, too. There is a cold mineral water spring (18-26 C) with the flow rate of 120 liters per minute at the distance of 500 metres west of it. There is a balneo-sanatorium built up here. The mineral water treats some skin diseases, the nervous system, kidney related diseases and others. There is a nice park and a country-houses zone around it.
The night is new
The faces are friendly
So have a few
and let me play
Some new songs, some blue songs
The mood is always right
every night at the Paradise Cafe
The world outside
may make its own madness
But here we hide
the world away
No headlines, no deadlines
we'll make them disappear
while you're here at the Paradise Cafe
The room is kinda smokey
The phone ain't workin'
The same old broken keys don't play
But no one seems to mind it
'cause someone's buyin'
And we'll all get through one more day
Just me and you around the piano
Not much to do but dream away
So stay on, I'll play on
I'm all yours for a song
all night long at the Paradise Cafe
Forget the one who loved you
then lied and left you
Forget the love you almost had
But if you must remember
the way it left you
We'll make it feel good to feel bad
Just me and you around the piano
Not much to do but dream away
So stay on, I'll play on
I'm all yours for a song
