The museum of The Bulgarian Revival and the Constituent Assembly

The museum stores some of the best pieces of the art of icon painting - several of them are genuine masterpieces of the Orthodox Christian inheritance. On the last floor is the restored hall, where, in 1879, the Constituent Assembly was in session, during wich the First Bulgarian Constitution was proclimed. That is the place, where the first Prince of independent Bulgaria - Alexander Batenberg - was choosen; and here, too, in 1885 was taken the decision for the annexation of Eastern Roumeliya to the Kingdom of Bulgaria.
