One kilometer south of the village is the Sofia - Burgas motorway ( Awtomagistrala A1 "Trakiya" ), from which the Awtomagistrala A3 "Mariza" branches off 5 km southeast of the village to the south, towards Turkey via the Kapitan Andreewo-Kapıkule border crossing .
history
To the east of the village is the archaeological excavation site of the Thracian village Ranilum. Ranilum was on the Roman road ( Via Militaris ): Constantinople (today Istanbul) - Adrianapolis (today Edirne) - Karasura (15 km east of Orisowo) - Philippolis (today Plovdiv) - Serdica (today Sofia) - Naissos (today Nis) - Singidunum (now Belgrade). The way stations in the area were Parembole (near Belosem; 27 km from Plovdiv), Ranilum (near Orisovo; 40 km from Plovdiv) and Cille (near Cherna gora). In the immediate vicinity of the Ranilum excavation site, 4 km northeast of Orisowo, lies the karst spring Chalka Bunar ( Халка Бунар ) - ( 42 ° 14 ′ 27 ″ N , 25 ° 13 ′ 8 ″ E ). There are numerous traces of Thracian settlement in the region. The prehistoric burial mound "Delinowanowa mogila" is three kilometers northeast of the village.
There are more burial mounds to the west, northwest and southwest of the village. The actual village of Orisowo was also built on a Thracian settlement. The necropolis of this 2000 year old former Thracian settlement is located in the present park of the village. A burial mound was converted into an ossuary .
Two finds are interesting: on the one hand from a horse burial with a fully preserved skeleton and iron bridle and on the other hand a buried horse's head.
In the historical museum of Stara Sagora , a Roman road column is exhibited, which was found in the vicinity of the village.
In the German translation, the name of the village is reminiscent of rice (Bulgarian ориз / oris = rice; compare: Oryza ). "Orisowo" in Bulgarian is synonymous with "rice" in compound words.
