According to this, there were 82 Muslim households, corresponding to approximately 400 people, and a mosque, later known as "Eski Camii", with also a population of 31 unmarried males. The Christians living in 12 neighborhoods, on the other hand, reached a population of approximately 1840 with 354 households and 172 unmarried males. At this time the ratio of the Muslim population to the general population increased to 18%. In addition, it is mentioned in the <a href="/wiki/Defter" title="Defter">defter</a> that the Muslim and non-Muslim population in the city and some residents of the 2 neighbouring villages were working in the mines and therefore these workers and their families were exempted from the <a href="/wiki/Avar%C4%B1z" title="Avarız">avarız</a> property tax. In 1580, Muslims made up 30% of the total population. At that time, the city had 3 Muslim neighborhoods (mahalle-i Câmi-i Atik, Mahalle-i Câmi-i Cedid, Mustafa Çavuş Mescidi mhalle). There were a total of 258 households in these neighbourhoods. The Christian population also increased, reaching a total of 583 households in 12 neighborhoods named after their priests. Apart from these, there were seven Coptic mining households whose statuses were recognized in 1550. The number of monasteries, which was 4 up to this date, increased to 8.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>1831 Ottoman population statistics show that 74% of the Christians were non-taxpayers in the <a href="/wiki/Kaza" title="Kaza">kaza</a> of İvraca and 83% of the Christians were recorded as middle-class.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Geography">Geography</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Vratsa&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Geography"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Vratza,_Bulgaria_-_panoramio_(18).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/Vratza%2C_Bulgaria_-_panoramio_%2818%29.jpg/220px-Vratza%2C_Bulgaria_-_panoramio_%2818%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="293" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/Vratza%2C_Bulgaria_-_panoramio_%2818%29.jpg/330px-Vratza%2C_Bulgaria_-_panoramio_%2818%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/Vratza%2C_Bulgaria_-_panoramio_%2818%29.jpg/440px-Vratza%2C_Bulgaria_-_panoramio_%2818%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2736" data-file-height="3648" /></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <p>The city of Vratsa is located in the foothills of "Vrachanski Balkan" (Vratsa Mountain), on the banks of Leva River, 116 km from the national capital <a href="/wiki/Sofia" title="Sofia">Sofia</a>. </p><p>The area has diverse natural features.

<p>Vratsa is an ancient city found by ancient <a href="/wiki/Thracians" title="Thracians">Thracians</a>. Vratsa was called <i>Valve</i> ("door of a fortress") by the <a href="/wiki/Ancient_Rome" title="Ancient Rome">Romans</a> due to a narrow passage where the main gate of the city fortress was located. Nowadays, this passage is the symbol of Vratsa, and is shown on the town's Coat of arms. </p><p>After the <a href="/wiki/Fall_of_Rome" class="mw-redirect" title="Fall of Rome">fall of Rome</a>, Vratsa became part of the <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Roman_Empire" class="mw-redirect" title="Eastern Roman Empire">Eastern Roman Empire</a> (Byzantium). </p><p>At the end of the 6th century AD, Vratsa was populated by the <a href="/wiki/South_Slavs" title="South Slavs">South Slavic</a> tribes. Even if they came from <a href="/wiki/Pannonia" title="Pannonia">Pannonia</a> and <a href="/wiki/Dacia" title="Dacia">Dacia</a> on the north, the town remained under Byzantine rule. </p><p>In the 7th century, the <a href="/wiki/Bulgars" title="Bulgars">Bulgars</a> and the Slavs found the <a href="/wiki/First_Bulgarian_Empire" title="First Bulgarian Empire">First Bulgarian Empire</a> and the Slavic Vratsa became part of it. The city grew into important strategic location because of its proximity to the South State border. Vratsa became famous for its goldsmiths and silversmiths production and trade, high-quality earthenware and military significance. </p><p>In the 8th century, the Bulgarian army captured <a href="/wiki/Sofia" title="Sofia">Sofia</a>, which led to the decreasing of Vratsa's importance because of the better strategic position of Sofia, its more developed economy and larger size.
