Shumen City Garden
Shumen
Shumen City Garden, established in 1897, is the largest and oldest park in the city of Shumen, Bulgaria. Located centrally along Madara Boulevard, the garden is home to numerous plant species, some of which are centuries old, creating a lush and historic green space. The park hosts several monuments, including those dedicated to notable figures such as Todor Kolev, a celebrated Bulgarian actor and entertainer, and Panayot Volov, a revolutionary hero. An iconic early 20th-century restaurant known as "The Casino" is also situated within the garden, adding cultural and historical value. The garden's design was developed in the early 20th century by forester Kunchev and later expanded under the guidance of Ivan Stoychev, with assistance from Czech gardener Anton Novak and draftsmen Zheko and Onik. Features such as greenhouses for flowers and a central gazebo with a surrounding square were constructed between 1910 and 1913, while a central boulevard alley was planned in 1933 by architect Neshev. The park remains a vital recreational and cultural hub in Shumen, blending natural beauty with historical monuments and community spaces.
