The Founders of the Bulgarian State Monument in Shumen, Bulgaria, is a striking tribute to the nation's medieval history and founding rulers. Situated atop the Shumen Plateau, this monumental complex features larger-than-life bronze statues depicting the first Bulgarian rulers: Khan Asparuh, Khan Tervel, Khan Krum, and Tsar Simeon the Great. Surrounding the statues is a landscaped park with walking paths, offering visitors panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and the city of Shumen below. The monument serves as a powerful symbol of Bulgaria's rich heritage and its enduring spirit of independence. It's a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and travelers interested in exploring Bulgaria's medieval past.

One of the most impressive communist monuments in Bulgaria. It is by far the most preserved thanks to the entry fee. The lady at the entrance was very kind and happy to welcome visitors. If you want to learn more about Bulgarian history I advise to talk a few minutes with her. They don't accept card payments therefore bring cash.

A very impressive monument! Well worth the 5 BGN entry fee! The statues look like the forerunner of the transformers.

An excellent monument describing in "pictures" the early history of the Bulgarian kingdom. For foreigners, it would be advantageous to have someone to translate. From here you have a perfect view over the city of Shumen. As located in nature and surrounded by forest, it is an ideal possibility for picnics or walks. For a restaurant, you should go 5 km away to the old city, where you also find the ancient fortress.
