About Tsarevets Fortress and Regional History Museum

Tsarevets is a medieval stronghold on a hill above the Yantra river in Veliko Tarnovo. Between 1185 and 1393 it was the main fortress of the Second Bulgarian Empire, holding the royal and patriarchal palaces, churches and houses. The restored Patriarchal Church at the top is decorated with modern murals.

The Regional History Museum, where the Tarnovo Constitution was signed in 1879, looks after Tsarevets and several other sites in the town. In the evenings the hill often hosts the Sound and Light show.
