Kazanlŭk, town, central Bulgaria. It lies in the Kazanlŭk basin, 2 miles (3 km) north of the Tundzha River. The area is famous for its roses, which are made into attar of roses for the perfume industry. This industry, which developed in the 17th century, now uses approximately 20,000 acres (8,000 hectares) and includes the growing of lavender, peppermint, and pyrethrum. The town is an ancient craft centre; modern industries include textiles, food processing, and the manufacture of household appliances and musical instruments.

The Kazanlŭk Tomb, discovered in 1944 on the outskirts of town, is a Thracian burial tomb of an unknown ruler from the 4th or 3rd century bc. The fine murals that decorate the entire tomb distinguish it from 13 similar known examples. The town also has a museum, theatre, opera house, and art gallery. Pop. (2004 est.) 51,995.
