For a captivating history lesson, visit the crumbling remnants of Shumen Fortress and picture how it must have looked during its golden years.
There's a charge to enter this once-important structure, which is situated in Veliki Preslav. But there's more to see around this area than just Shumen Fortress. Monument to 1300 Years of Bulgaria, Shumen Regional History Museum and Monument of Freedom are also worth putting on your schedule.
