Veliko Turnovo

Sorrounded by mountain and this make it an hot spot for

tourist.

The heart of Veliko Turnovo started pulsing about 13th century BC when the first Thracians settled here.

Nowadays the town, rich in historical and cultural heritage, picturesque and panoramic views, leaves the tourists life-long

fascinated and touched by its beauty.

Veliko Turnovo was founded at the foot of the North Balkan Range and centuries

later spread on four hills � Tzarevetz, Trapezitsa, Sveta Gora and Momina Krepost. The meanders of the river Yantra were used

as natural protection from enemies and the medieval town was additionally supported by fortified walls. After the successful

uprising against Byzantine domination organized and led by two brothers � Asen and Petar in 1185, Veliko Turnovo became the

capital of the Second Bulgarian Kingdom. For two centuries the town developed quickly and became a significant centre of

culture, politics, economy and religion. During that period literature, art and crafts thrived and remarkable architectural

monuments were created.

Tzarevetz � The remains of the fortress, named after the hill, are now a major tourist

attraction. The royal palace and the Patriarchal church were surrounded by separate fortified walls. During XII-XIV century

all important institutions were concentrated on Tzarevetz. When the town fell under Ottoman yoke (with the help of a traitor,

as it is believed) the palace and the church were burnt to the ground. Now the fortress stone walls and the three main gates

are restored and many precious remnants of the period were found.

Trapezitsa � The nobility comprised the major part

of the inhabitants. Those were rich families with their own family churches. Seventeen churches have been discovered so far

by archeologists. Now you can visit the famous St. Dimitar church built at the foot of the hill where the uprising against

Byzantine domination was declared in 1185. It probably was the royal church until 1230 when the St. Forty Martyrs church was

built.

Sveta Gora � The place was a famous religious centre with a lot of churches and monasteries where all the

national festivals were carried out. Moreover, Turnovo School of Literature and Turnovo School of Art were located there.

Nowadays it is again a centre of culture famous for its well-known university - Veliko Turnovo University St. Cyril and St.

Methodius.

Momina Krepost was a separate fortress inhabited by the poorest people. Many traces of the period have

been found by archeologists � remnants of fortress walls, gates, towers, buildings, coins and different everyday

objects.
