The Museum of the Renaissance in Veliko Tarnovo
Font size:  A  A  A
Veliko Turnovo was one of the five main centres of the Bulgarian resistance movement during the later years of Ottoman rule.

It has a long history of rebelliousness. The city withstood a three month seige in 1893 before capitulating to the Turks (by some accounts its fortress Tsaravets was only conquered through betrayal). During its occupation the citizens rebelled several times, most notably in 1598, 1686, 1875 and 1876.

Following the national liberation in 1878 the city was briefly the new State of Bulgaria capital with the first National Assembly ratifying the Turnovo Constitution (Bulgaria's first) there on 16th April 1879. This ironically resulted in the transfer of the capital to Sofia.

The building where this first National Assembly met is now the "Museum of the Renaissance and Constituent Assembly" (to give it its full title). The museum is very much an educational resource and has exhibits of photos, original documents and other bits and pieces from the 15th to 19th centuries but mainly showcasing the history of Veliko Turnovo's role in the liberation and early independence of the fledgling state.
