TSAREVETS


Tsarevets is a hill in Veliko Tarnovo, as well as a fortress of the same name in medieval Tarnovgrad.

It is located near the old town of Veliko Tarnovo. It was the main Bulgarian fortress during the Second Bulgarian Kingdom (1185 – 1396), when Tarnovo was the capital of the kingdom. During the Middle Ages, the hill on which it is located was completely built up with residential and administrative buildings.

Tsarevets is among the Hundred National Tourist Sites, it has the seal of the BTS.

The earliest traces of life on Tsarevets Hill date back to the Late Chalcolithic (4200 BC).

HISTORY


The hill was also inhabited during the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. Remains of dwellings and pottery from the Hallstatt culture (XIII-V centuries BC) and from the later Latin culture (V-I centuries BC) were discovered. The Thracian settlement discovered under the ruins of the medieval Bulgarian capital existed throughout the 1st millennium BC.

The intense life on the hill in the following millennia, and especially in the Middle Ages, almost completely destroyed the traces of it. Only small sections have survived under the later buildings.
