Veliko Turnovo
Bulgaria’s mediaeval capital (12-14 centuries), Veliko Turnovo is renowned for its steep white cliffs with houses built on them, for Tsarevets historic hill with the ruins of the Fortress and the Royal Palace, the meandering river Yantra which mirrors the imposing splendour of the town’s Renaissance architecture reflected in the plentiful churches and houses. Keeping traditions alive, Samovodene Market street demonstrates handcrafts. |
