Shumen Monument

“The Founders of the Bulgarian State”

 

 

Shumen boasts the Monument to 1300 Years of Bulgaria, regarded as the only monument in  the world to depict the history of a whole country from its creation to the present day.  This place is huge. The photos do not do it justice. It is overwhelming in its magnificence.  These statues are many times life size, and mere mortals are smaller than their shoes. The 100 foot high mosaics are as good as any Byzantine Emperor could hope to achieve.
