Palace of Omurtag, Royal palace ruins in Han Krum, Bulgaria.
The Palace of Omurtag features stone walls, defensive structures, and architectural elements from the First Bulgarian Empire period near the Ticha River.
Built during the reign of Khan Omurtag between 814 and 831, the palace complex served as a center of power for the Bulgarian state.
The archaeological site contains four churches, including an Arian episcopal see with Germanic architectural influences and early Christian frescoes.
