Veliko Tarnovo is one of the most ancient Bulgarian towns. The picturesque location and panoramic view of the town, its rich cultural and historical heritage wins Veliko Tarnovo the recognition as a historical, cultural and tourist center of contemporary Bulgaria.

During the 12-14th centuries, it became the most significant political, economic, cultural and religious centre of Bulgaria. Later, Tarnovo was a symbol of the former Bulgarian state system and a stronghold of the Bulgarian national spirit. During the Bulgarian National Revival period in the second half of the 18th and 19th centuries the town was an important administrative, trade and industrial centre.

After the Liberation from the Ottoman domination in 1877, Tarnovo played a significant role in the political, administrative and cultural formation of independent Bulgaria. In 1879, Bulgaria became independent for the second time. The Constituent Assembly drafted the supreme fundamental laws of the nation - the Tarnovska Constitution. In 1990, the 7th Grand National Assembly was established and there, in the same place as over 100 years ago, the new Constitution of Bulgaria was finalised. The modern Veliko Tarnovo is rich in many cultural museums and monuments and architectural preserves. Every year the town is visited by thousands of tourists from Bulgaria and from abroad.
