Tsarevets, Veliko Turnovo

The town of Veliko Turnovo is situated in the central part of North Bulgaria at the foot of the Balkan Mountains at 250km from the capital of Bulgaria - Sofia.
Historians date it back to 4th millenium B.C. Veliko Tarnovo is the former capital of the Second Bulgarian Kingdom (1185-1396) and a symbol of the Bulgarian nationhood. Probably the most outstanding landmark of the town is the medieval fortress of Tsarevets - the ramparts, the Baldwin Tower, the royal Palace and Patriarchate, the Palace Church St Petka and a multitude of small cross-domed churches. It became the most significant political, economic, cultural and religious center of Bulgaria.
Modern Veliko Turnovo develops dynamically but still is a town-museum rich in many cultural museums, monuments and architectural sites. Every year the town is visited by thousands of Bulgarian and foreign tourists. The preservation of the ancient history of Bulgaria is not only the prime concern of the Veliko Turnovo Municipality, but of the whole Bulgarian nation.
The beautiful defiles of the river Yantra outline the three hills – Tsarevets, Sveta gora and Trapezitsa and shape the unique townscape.
