From Plovdiv, we made our way to Veliko Turnovo for the night. This is the fortress in Veliko Tărnovo in Bulgaria served as the Second Bulgarian Empire’s primary fortress and strongest bulwark from 1185 to 1393, housing the royal and the patriarchal palaces. June 5, 2016

This art etching is on the side of a building in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, but I saw other etchings in other Bulgarian cities. I can’t seem to find much information on these wall art etchings, in Plovdiv, then different ones in Veliko Tărnovo and another one again in Rousse, they are striking. June 5, 2016
