Shumen (in Bulgarian:
Шумен) is a city located in the northeastern part of Bulgaria. It has some 100 000 souls and is the capital city of the province of Shumen.
One can discover there the remaining of the Thraces' sites dating from the 4th century AD to the 14th century. Under the Turkish yoke, Shumen was a remarkable military fortress and its Tomboul
mosque built in 1744 is still the largest of the Balkan region.
One can also visit the district of the pretty houses of the Bulgarian Rebirth. During the 19th century Shumen was the most important center for culture in the area. In 1856, were built the first
theater and the first orchestra!
Shumen is also known by its brewery (the oldest in Bulgaria) and the lovely Kechkove park.
In 1981 for the jubilee of the foundation of the Bulgarian State in 681 a very imposing monument was built. It is drawn up on the Iltochov Bair hill and dominates the city by its lion, the symbol
of Bulgaria.
