Title: A Contribution to the Urban Planning of Tarnovo XII-XIV Century
Authors: Mirko Robov

Abstract: The examined sector is situated on three adjacent ledges, on the southernmost of which is discovered a large ensemble, encompassing an area of 900 m2. It was constructed during the first half of the 13th century and existed until the fall of Tarnovo at the end of the 14th century. Two wings are discovered. The west wing is a chain building. The inner walls are plastered and the floors are covered with a brick pavement. The north wing (a dining hall) is constructed in a similar manner. A large domestic furnace is uncovered, as well as an elliptical heating equipment. The newly discovered ensemble is a contribution to the understanding of the urban planning of the sector. Here no traces were found of residential buildings, production and trade structures, necropoles, etc. In this context here was formed an urban environment, only with large enclosed ensembles, bordering with one another and inhabited by representatives of the eminent metropolitan aristocracy.
