Sklave is a village in the municipality of Sandanski, in Blagoevgrad Province, Bulgaria.[1] The name of the village originates from the Latin word Sclavus, meanining a slave. A slave market was situated in the village in Ancient times. A traditional fair still takes place in the village during these days, with farm animals mainly traded.
