Weekly weekend tour "1001 fun for the weekend" GREAT BULGAR
Veliky Bolgar is the capital of the medieval state of Volga Bulgaria. It is here that one of the tourist gems of the Republic of Tatarstan is located – the Bulgarian Settlement, which in 2014 was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The largest printed Koran in the world, listed in the Guinness Book of Records, is kept on the territory of the Bulgarian Museum-Reserve. The unique Museum of Bulgarian Civilization, the building of which is harmoniously integrated into the existing relief of the steep bank, combines the river station and a multi-level museum complex, built in the classical oriental style.
