Veliko Tarnovo - History, Art & Past Glory

Veliko TarnovoVeliko Tarnovo

The capital of Mediaeval Bulgaria, Veliko Tarnovo, is one of the most picturesque historical settlements. Located on the hills above the meandering river Yantra, this city, once a glorious mediaeval capital (1186 – 1393), is now attracting thousands of romantic travellers with its irresistible atmosphere. Mixing the legends of the past  with bursting joy of hundreds of young students – this is Veliko Tarnovo today, the second most important University City after Sofia.

Start exploring the city with the Tzarevets Royal hill. A guide can tell you more than any of the thick books will. Then go to the Samovodska market place, with its narrow cobbled streets, where every stone tells a story. The neighbouring Arbanassi museum village is a genuine gallery of art. Apart from a gorgeous view over the city of Veliko Tarnovo, there are several musts here: the 15th century Church of the Nativity, the house of Konstantsaliev and the house of Hadzi Iliev are fortress-like stone buildings, excellent examples of the 18th century architecture at its height.
