[MR] Bulgaria's Medieval Capital Resurrected in Unique Model

[J. C. Smith ispán]

Hi there,
 
"The residents of Veliki Preslav, the capital of the First Bulgarian Empire in 
the 10th century, received as a gift a unique model of their town from its most 
glorious times.
 
"Hristo Antonov, a retired veterinarian, took 21 months to build the model of 
Veliki Preslav, the first truly Christian capital of Bulgaria, whose remains are 
partly still standing today.
 
"Antonov's model of the inner city of Veliki Preslav (i.e. "Great Preslav") is 4 
meters long and 3.6 meters wide, and is made of 20 types of plants. The Preslav 
History Museum has already decided to include the model in its permanent 
display."
