This is one bad view of the interior of the church in the Tsaravets fortress here in Veliko Tarnovo. Sorry about the quality, but I was doing it on the sly....had to pay 3 lv to take pics, but I didn't. This was a rad place though - painted in 1985, it's all done in this intense graphic novel style. I have some postcards of the interior, and they have better lighting for some of these views.....
Another pic of the interior....these images tell the story of the Ottoman rule and after. It's super neat, and I'm surprised they don't make a bigger deal out of it. Maybe it's because so many people hate contemporary art, and think this type of thing has no place in a house of worship...I dunno.
This is the outside of the church. Some of the fortress ruins can be seen here too. It's interesting, cause they're rebuilding the ruins...instead of ruins falling down with time, they're going up....kinda different and neat.
