| Shumen plateau, as a natural well defended area, was populated from the remote past. Most of the caves were used as cave-dwellings in copper. |
| Remains from several Thracian settlements, dated from IV � II century B.C., were found out. The slopes of the plateau still keep monasteries, churches and monk cells cut in the rocks. They were connected with the religious and cultural life led at the time of the Second Bulgarian Kingdom. The most significant historical and archaeological place of interest in this area is the Shoumen Fortress /the so cold Old Town/, which survived for more than 3000 years. |
