Tsarevets

Tsarevets is regarded as one of the most significant cultural and historical landmarks in the nation. It is located on a hilltop overlooking the city. During the Second Bulgarian Empire, the fortress, which was constructed in the 12th century, was the main residence of the Bulgarian emperors. Tsarevets is known for its well-preserved fortifications, including the palace complex, the patriarchate, and the church of the Holy Ascension. The fortress also features the "Sound and Light Show," a multimedia presentation that takes place each evening and tells the history of the fortress and the city. The fortress of Tsarevets is a must-see attraction for visitors to Veliko Tarnovo, as it offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Bulgaria. It's visited by thousands of tourists every year, and it's a popular spot for locals and tourists alike to enjoy the panoramic views of the city.
