Zlatitsa (
Zlatitsa is situated at the crossroad between the first class I-6 road Gyueshevo–Sofia–Karlovo–Burgas and the second class II-37 road Yablanitsa–Panagyurishte–Pazardzhik–Dospat.[2] It is also served by railway line No. 3 Iliyantsi (Sofia)–Karlovo–Sliven–Karnobat–Varna operated by the Bulgarian State Railways.
9 kilometres (5.6 mi) south of Zlatitsa is the Old Kemer – a bridge spanning the river Topolnitsa from Roman times. The church complex called Spasovo Kladenche is 500 metres (550 yd) away from the town. The park monument Kambana can be found in the nearby village of Petrich.[citation needed]
The Battle of Zlatitsa was fought nearby on 12 December 1443.[3]
Between 1 April 1978 and 31 August 1991, Zlatitsa together with Pirdop formed a single town called Srednogorie.[4]
