A number of Renaissance-style houses have been preserved in the old part of the city.
They are on "St. Kliment Ohridski" and "St. Ivan Vazov" Street.
This is the location of the “Artists’ House”, or the so-called Kerimova House), as well as the Architects" House.
Today, the Kerimova House is the home of the artistic unions in Kardzhali.
It is the place where artists, actors and writers gather and share artistic inspiration.
The governor of Eastern Rumelia, Aleko Bogorodi, stayed here while on a visit to the city.
