    Diese Open-Air-Tribute zum kyrillischen Alphabet wurde 2015 erbaut und hat seither große internationale Aufmerksamkeit erregt. Das Konzept gehört einem Armenier, der in Bulgarien lebt.

    The visit starts with the open court of the alphabet - huge stone models of all the letters, each combined with objects whose names start with that very letter. Then comes the Alley of the Writers - in the open, there are busts of very prominent writers of all times, from many different countries who used the Cyrillic in their works and all the busts have been made by the most famous sculptors of the nationality of each writer.

    There are also some exhibitions in a fortress-like building. In a small hall, drawings are on display, depicting various scenes of the life of the holy brothers. In another hall all the letters of the Cyrillic alphabet, all made of wood, are exhibited, and there are beautiful wood-carved panels with the letters of the Cyrillic and its predecessor, the Glagolitic alphabet. On the second floor of the "fortress", there are wax statues of all Bulgarian khans and tsars (kings) with some information about each of them, unfortunately in Bulgarian only - Khan Asparuh, the founder of Bulgaria; Khan Kubrat, his father; Khan Tervel who stopped the Arabs to invade Europe; Khan Kardam who was the nightmare of Byzantium; Khan Krum, the legislator aka the "Dreadful"; Khan Omurtag, the builder of the First Bulgarian Kingdom; Tsar Boris I, his wife Queen Maria and their son, Tsar Simeon the Great.

    The fact it was built in the first Bulgarian capital, Pliska, contributes further to the overall experience.

      I really like the font of this alphabet. It's very similar to a few fonts at this site: schriftarten.io
