VELIKO TARNOVO MUNICIPALITY
Veliko Tarnovo is one of the most ancient towns in Bulgaria. Its founding dates back to the fourth millennium BC. Its picturesque location and panorama, its centuries-old traditions and culture, along with its rich heritage, make it one of the most prominent historic, cultural and tourist centers in contemporary Bulgaria.

Veliko Tarnovo became the first East European town to receive the "Special Award for a Sustainable City" granted by the European Union. It is an acknowledgement for the efforts of many generations of Bulgarians and residents of Veliko Tarnovo in particular to preserve their town and also the unique opportunity for implementing the transition to European values, thus enabling Veliko Tarnovo to become a reliable partner to the European development strategy.
