Tsarevets contains the palaces of the Bulgarian emperors and the Patriarchate, as well as a series of administrative and residential buildings surrounded by thick walls, alongside the Patriarchal Cathedral. Trapezitsa is known for its many churches and as the former main residence of the nobility. In the Middle Ages, the city was among Europe's leading cultural centers.
