Zlatitsa (Bulgarian: Златица) is a town and seat of Zlatitsa Municipality in southern Bulgaria located in the Zlatitsa-Pirdop valley, between Stara Planina to the north and Sredna Gora to the south at 680 meters above the sea level. It is situated immediately south in the lap of the Zlatitsa -Teteven Mountain.
