Bulgaria Landmarks > Sound & Light Show

The Sound & Light show, created by a team of Bulgarian and Czech specialists and first released in 1985 to commemorate 800 years since the rebellion of the brothers Assen and Peter, aims to create an immemorable and emotional image of the grandeur and glory of the ancient capital city of Turnovgrad - a synonym of the Bulgarian spirit and national pride.

The sound and light take you to an unreal world, far back into the centuries. Specially composed music is the leading element in the show, presenting the historical events by accompanying the fascinating visual effects. The music themes and rhythm graduation symbolize the creation of the Bulgarian State, the struggles for its consolidation and against the invasions of one enemy or another, the most painful ones being the Byzantine and the Ottoman slavery.

Finally the song "Many Happy Returns" performed by a choir seems to come from the hill burning in red flames and festive bells toll in praise of the liberated city. Have a glimpse on the short clip. -->>>
