In this most attractive yellow hued house resides a fine art gallery. At our visit the exhibition was Landscapes of Bulgaria.
Scenes of streets, sea, churches, countryside and more were attractively arranged against the grand backdrop of the lovely house space.
Named in honour of Nencho Palaveev who was a successful entrepreneur. Born in 1859 he had many business interests both within the Ottoman Empire and beyond.
A major benefactor to the town, his many donations funded a multitude of philanthropic initiatives. Before his death in 1936 he had in effect bequeathed his fortune to Koprivshtitsa.

I personally find this street to be the most important for Koprivshtitsa and maybe the most beautiful one in Bulgaria. The house of Hadji Nencho Palaveev is fully rebuilt and is now a gallery with different exhibitions.
The noble trader was born in 1859 in Koprivshtitsa and had spoken at least four languages, he has spent most of his life working as a trader in Egypt. There he has made a fortune, which by that time made him the richest Bulgarian. Later in his life, he returned to Koprivshtitsa where he made numerous constructions, including the towns pipe system, the monuments of Georgi Benkovski, Nayden Gerov, Lyuben Karavelov and more, the bell tower of St. Nikola church, he paid for the afforestation around town, he gave scholarships for young students, and many more. The organisation of the "April Uprising of 1876" was secretly financed by him and he paid for most of the guns, horses and uniforms. In his will he left a huge amount of gold for Koprivshtitsa, some sources say that it was around 450 kilograms.
He was the owner of Napoleon Bonaparte’s ring offered as a gift to his first wife Josephine, which today is shown in the Museum situated in the building of the first class school in town.
