Shumen

The Shumen Plateau defines the setting of Shumen — its wooded limestone escarpment rises directly above the city and has long shaped its northern edge. On the plateau stands the Monument to 1300 Years of Bulgaria, a vast concrete memorial inaugurated in 1981 to mark the Bulgarian state's anniversary. Nearby, the remains of Shumen Fortress recall the town's importance through antiquity and the medieval Bulgarian period. In the centre, the 18th-century Tombul Mosque is a major reminder of Shumen's Ottoman-era community and architectural heritage.
