Shumen Essentials
Shumen serves as the gateway to the origins of the Bulgarian state, home to the UNESCO-listed Madara Rider and the colossal Founders of the Bulgarian State Monument. The region preserves the archaeological remains of the nation's first two capitals, Pliska and Preslav, featuring the Great Basilica and the 10th-century Round Church. Within the city, the 18th-century Tombul Mosque stands as Bulgaria's largest, while the Shumen Fortress offers panoramic views over a site inhabited for over 3,000 years.
